I did do better on Invega. I put them into a med interaction checker and it says heart problems can occur when Invega is taken with Zyprexa though (that QT long heart issue). I will still ask my dr about it.
I could ask about risperidone too I guess but the last time I tried it I got higher appetite. I am scared of that. @broken
I can ask about latuda too. It knocks me out after taking it so I’d have to take it at bedtime with a yogurt. Can I take it with less than 350 calories I wonder? Or without food?
I tried Vraylar and was so ill with voices and anxiety. I nearly ended up back the hospital. It was a scary month or two. I was housebound. It was bad.
According to studies Risperidone is strongest and only stronger AP is Clozapine. It causes much less weight gain than Olanzapine and Clozapine. I am on 6mg Risperidone and no positive symptoms at all.
If you do good on Abilify you will likely do good on Vraylar as they have about the same potency. But why are you switching? Both are partial agonists, same mechanism of action, no difference, Vraylar is a bit weaker according to studies
Edit: I just remembered you had problems on Abilify. Rexulti is the younger brother of Abilify, its said to be a new improved version of Abilify.
