What experience do you have with this med?
My psychiatrist prescribed it to me to prevent future episodes
Is it more like Abilify or Risperdal?

Its like Lurasidone (Latuda), Latuda was good for me at 80-120mg but needed Benzatropine to stop akathisia.

@shutterbug takes a low dose with Amyloban 3399, a supplement. The combination works well enough for him to suppress his positive symptoms enough to do full-time work. He’s had SZ for decades.

I see. I am not currently having any positive symptoms so would I even notice if the med didnt work?
You’re delusional and thinking your parents want to kill you. That’s a positive symptom.
I do not believe that anymore, I used to believe it
Oh, that’s good. Do you hear voices still?

no i dont, i just heard like once and it may be a real voice actually
Well, that’s a bit of delusion. Voices in your head aren’t “real”, in the sense that they emanate from anywhere on Earth.
no i meant like an actual voice that everyone hears you know
If an external voice tells you a delusional thing, like someone is going to kill you, it’s still a hallucination.
I regularly hear external voices telling me the stupidest ■■■■, but not when I’m face to face. I have to filter it out.

sigh i have never hallucinated it was just a misunderstanding of a real thing
It was really weak for me. It’s the favorite medicine I was on but i relapsed after a month on it. Some antipsychotics are too weak
well im not currently psychotic so it wont matter wont it?
Ask your doctor many people like it.
oh thank you, appreciate it

How long you stopped meds without being psychotic? You need 6 months to loose your diagnosis.
like 2-3 months
If you get another psychosis withing 6 months of the 1st one, your diagnosis changes from psychosis to schizophrenia. Also avoid drugs like weed, alcohol, etc, they worsen psychosis.
