Poll: does your AP make you sleepy or wake you up?

I often wonder if I was in error in taking my AP before bed. it is abilify. I think it puts me to sleep, but also gives me restless legs. How about you. Does your AP put you to sleep or wake you up?

I take Haldol and it’s neutral. Pretty much every AP I’ve tried is neutral. At super ■■■■■■■ high knock you in your ass drooling levels they make me sleepy, so if I had to choose I’d choose that. But no. It’s neutral.

Geodon makes me sleep longer than I used to, but I used to only sleep 3-6 hours a night. So I don’t think it sedates me. It just stops me from being woken up by voices.

Not currently taking meds but when I did they only ever knocked me out. To the point where I could not function at the dosage I needed to not be psychotic. Not fun when you already have a sleep disorder. I guess you can’t be psychotic if you’re in a stone cold sleep!

Yeah, it’s boring at night and it’s noisy in the morning.

They’ve always woke me up. But it can be up and down between woke and sleep. Sometimes I dream that I’m awake and am awake while I dream :upside_down_face:

I get the injection form of Abilify and it neither makes me sleepy or awake. What do I do?

The only sedating AP I ever took was geodon. I never went on one that acted like a stimulant or anything though. Unless you count heavy anxiety as that.
