When I take mine they hit hard after about 2 1/2 hours then put me to sleep. So I take them about 2 hours before bedtime. It takes about 8 hours for that hard hit to ware off but it resets me. Clears out a lot of Delusional and Psychotic thinking. Then as the day progresses I build up some delusions and Psychosis. Then I repeat the process.

I’m on a lot of antipsychotic meds and unfortunately none of them make me sleepy. My sleep is really hit and miss.
My psychoses, paranoia and delusional thinking comes and goes, is extremely unpredictable, but is usually associated with either high stress, or lack of sleep, or with being around people.

I feel calmer, things I used to get angry at don’t bother me anymore… I still have it but less often… but yeah it true I feel numb or placid!

I just came back in from a one hour walk, I’m having coffee, and I have a purring kitty. I’m hitting the lake after work. Life is okay.

I also feel empty on the meds. But I would rather take them than being paranoid and think that there’s mics and cameras in my apartment and that people are after me. Hopefully some of us can go off the meds at some point. I have this hope that the psychosis will “burn” away and that I will be free of meds in the future. But I’m not sure how realistic that is. According to most people on here, not very.

It’s not barbaric. But I feel you. My doc said the med are like a break for your mind, slows you down, makes you dizzy, makes you tired. Normally I’m the opposite tired

I ain’t got it too bad if I’m honest. I’m eating and sleeping well at least.

I suffer from very bad depression. That’s my symptom these days. My antidepressant makes me feel funny. I quit taking it without my doctor’s permission and when I started it again it didn’t work anymore. I don’t know what is worse, the strange sensation of being on Lexapro or the dead feeling?

I took antidepressants for years but use em anymore. It sounds like your doctor hasn’t found a suitable med for you yet.
I hope life gets better for you @Jinx
