Im liking abilify right now. Not only did it renew some of my interest in life and make me feel more human, it also helped with paranoia and it killed my appetite. Ive lost 4 pounds in 4 days. I dont even wanna eat.

Thats is brilliant glad its working for you

For me it’s a combo of Abilify and Wellbutrin. I’m the most stable I’ve been probably ever.

Rexulti is the most important out of all the meds I take. Clonidine has been a big help. Also I know a lot of people would be skeptical of this and I don’t know if it would have this effect on everybody but Ozempic has been a miracle for my mental health. I have so much more drive and motivation on it. All the tips and tricks and techniques Ive learned over the years I finally have the energy to use.

Olanzapine takes away voices and delusions and is not sedating during the day. It also helps me sleep.

Rexulti has worked pretty well for me. My positives are mostly gone and its not very sedating for me. I think i require only an average amount of antipsychotics. They make me stable pretty easily. Im lucky in that regard. I wouldnt like to be treatment resistant.

The best one for me is Invega Halfiera. It is a six month shot and has improved my relationship with my Clinic.

Ozzykit it really good to hear that you are doing so well on a single low dose antipsychotic. I wish that it was me.

My Haldol/olanzapine combo for sure, absolutely no side effects, lucky me…
It can be a bit poor for delusions if i do drugs but otherwise it’s great.

Im doing well on my mix. Abilify is my AP, 20mg. No real side effects aside from sometimes being tired. It helps a lot with intrusive thoughts too, for me.

Haldol has been a lifesaver abilify as a teenager helped however it stopped working when I was in my 20s

Both olanzapine and haldol, haldol is the one i stick with the most since it’s a very convenient injection! And olanzapine i sometimes go bits without it.
Both are good drugs; i really like olanzapine for both positive and negative symptoms and haldol is also great for positive
I also didn’t gain much weight from olanzapine too.
