My family says I am best and have the most logical thoughts on Risperdal eventhough I had less negative symptoms on Abilify. My brother told me that I was mildly psychotic on Abilify and had social inhibition problems. I wasn’t fully stable mentally on Abilify, constant troubles, instable friends, instable jobs and instable life etc I had some illogical thoughts and some paranoia on Abilify.
He told me its better to be stable in life and stay in bed all day everyday than being outside and having a messed up and instable sometimes dangerous life. Everything that improves my negative symptoms pushes me towards life instability and psychosis.
Its hard to say. I’ve had a pretty unstable 15 years of my life. I’ve had a lot of good times and also bad times.
I think you need a certain degree of stability to function though.
but violent stuff needs to be kept in check and if risperdal does that then yep just stay on it
i’d stay on the risperdal too personally… i too have some negatives but i still stick to my risperdal/clozapine combo… it’s better than be messed up totally. But i think your negatives are more severe than mine… so i don’t know what i would do if i was in bed all day.
I don’t think it will ever make it to Canada as we already have two partial agonists here, Rexulti/Abilify. My Dr told me I can’t import non-approved psychiatric meds in Canada.
