Stay away from benzos.

Use 'em in emergency situations only.

I dunno about an antipsychotic, but I got addicted to them xans for a while. Benzos are very dangerous when you don’t use them right.

Seroquel and Abilify.

Seroquel made me drowsy and hungry. I only took one dose.

Abilify made me get up and pace the halls at 3am. I took it two days and then they switched my medication.

Risperidone was the worst for me.

Ive only ever been on invega and risperdal. Both werent bad. Wellbutrin was rough. Made it so i couldnt sleep. I was up for like 3 days straight until i figured out nkt sleeping was a side effect

Abilify talk about a nightmare

Prozac made me batshit insane. Ativan relaxed me but made delusions stronger.

Abilify was my worst. I was constantly freaking out, and I gained a huge amount of weight that came off again after I went off it, so I know it was that. Hated the stuff. Was stuck on it for several months before my previous pdoc took me off.

Seroquel - had awful side effects including terrible akathisia and palpitations.

Clozapine came close second - drugged like a zombie sleeping all day and drooling at night

Invega (paliperidone) my body thought it was pregnant. I gained a lot of weight and had no motivation.

Olanzapine and seroquel were absolute torture for me in parts. Seemed to come on in waves of absolute horror.
