How about I’m smarter now? 
Not just temporarily while on the AP I’m on now, but permanently.
When I was on Haldol I could not write at all. That drug killed my imagination dead. I think it brought down my IQ a few points too. I can write on Geodon and Seroquel. All the typical ap’s bring me down. I barely exist on them. It’s a grey, brown world. On Geodon and Seroquel things are much better. These drugs do weaken me physically - a lot. I hate that about them, but I have to take my med’s.
I can’t sleep even with my medicine. That means the cops have to be called. I don’t care what you say! I can’t sleep! 
Ä° think i m getting smarter with invega sustenna.as my focus ability raised my ingelligence getting better

People used to tell me I was kinda smart, but kinda dumb. Now I’m not afraid to seem dumb, because I know I’m not.

For me with SZA, I get stupid when I get depressed or stop taking my antidepressants. The mind doesn’t work right in that state either. Not comparing it to SZ though, its just different.

I feel wiser emotionally but dull intellectually.

When I was on Haldol and Seroquel… I was so sedated… I couldn’t think… I couldn’t keep up with a simple conversation…
But I’m the same during a negative swing too…
But being on a med that’s not working well is hard to deal with.
It took some time… but now I’m on a good med combo that is working… I don’t know if I’m actually smarter… but I can concentrate better… I can keep up with people… I can function and get through my day.

I’m going to say you’re smarter. I bet you right now 100$ that you weren’t as caring before, and that you are smart enough now to not go near drugs.

Thank you… you win the $100.
When I was using… I barely cared about anyone… not even me.
I know, I can relate. I don’t really know what is it, I guess its self destructive behavior that left us uncaring.

How do you get ahold of schizophrenia.com administration to complain about threads and posts that feature subjects concerning negative remarks about anti psychotic medications? I believe that all these types of threads do is encourage medication noncompliance and they should be banned. These pages should be monitored for these types of threads and posts and eliminated when posted. Hopefully they will note it here.

I don’t get the question. Define “dumber” for me.
i feel dumber and slower now but i’m not sure if its cos of antipsychotics or i’m just naturally like this. i cant think logically.
I hope I’m not getting dumber but I couldn’t say for certain.
Like the old saying goes “I wish I knew then what I know now”.
