So basically I’m sleeping too much on 50 mg of Loxapine I take it with Geodon. My symptoms are just okay managed. Could be managed better. I want to switch back to Vraylar as I was on it two years ago with success but I have no idea if my insurance will cover it. I’m just sick and tired of being tired all the time. Which meds don’t make you tired? I can’t tolerate Abilify so that’s out of the question.
I’m tired too and sleep a lot with Abilify which you can’t tolerate. I’ve taken all of the medications except for Vraylar and must say they all made me sleepy. I like Abilify because it does not make me too sleepy. I work as much as I can with it, but it is difficult. I hope you find the right med for you!
What was the problem with abilify? If akathisia, what was your dose? I had 22,5mg of abilify and got akathisia, years later i tried it again at 15mg and even at 20mg and had no problems.

I was on 15mg and got akathisia really bad
You could see if you could get some paliperidone ( invega) I have had great luck with this med, doesn’t make me drowsy.
I lactated on Invega plus gained 40 pounds in 9 months. No good
I think I had to do a prior authorization to get latuda covered by my insurance. Maybe you can ask for a prior authorization for vraylar. Maybe latuda also would not be too sedating. Latuda is also not generic yet.
Try Serdolect if
You are in europe.
It’s a non sedating kind of risperdone
why did you bring this back after 11 months
seems things are pressing at the time, but then subside.
Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
Thanks
