You’ve got to try these meds first hand.
You can’t go by other people’s experiences.

Yes because it’s an atypical ap it works differently so some people come off worse and need to go off it. Depends if you want to take the risk. It can be good. I’m sort of satisfied with it though I’m afraid I might need to wear a wig one day if I’m on it for my whole life and my hair gets thinner!
Does it help with disorganized thinking
Yes it did help me personally. Initially it actually got worse and I had akathisia too but after a month both of those things went down.
Clozapine is the best for meeeeeeee !!!

Like stated everyone is different. I’ve seen you ask a lot of questions about meds and that’s a good thing but at the same time you’ll never know what works for you unless you try them out. Some meds are safer than others and if that’s a concern talk to your dr about it. You’re not prescribing them yourself
Yes i know. I see my dr on the 12th i think to discuss meds.

Which ap are you currently on. Do you hear voices and what are the negatives of your current ap?
Im on zyprexa. I hear them when i wake up. I also get random intrusive thoughts
I feel like tar is on my thoughts but scary thoughts jumping thru if that makes sense
It’s known as a last resort drug here due to the side effects.

What do you mean tar is on your thoughts.
Thats good. I worry about my cognition
How bad was the aka? I couldnt sit still the first time the shot kicked in. Wondering if ill have the same side effect again
It was bad idk wat to compare it to. But I had to go on bus rides most days if not every day to feel like i was moving. U gt akathisia from zyprexa too?
It felt like my body was moving. But I wasn’t moving. Like shaking
It’s all relative. Works for some, doesn’t work for others, I guess.
Not symptom free but much much better
For me zyprexa is the best AP. Sometimes i feel its not enough though.
Does it cause any memory problems
What does it help you with
