I’ve got two. The saphris makes me feel sedated and I think it makes things more solid and real. And the rexulti makes me not want to kill myself. I acts as an anti-depressant I think. The rexulti is a little invigorating and sort of counteracts some of the sedation of the morning dose of the saphris. The two work pretty good together. I’m feeling pretty alright I think.

Abilify kinda makes me a big flirt sometimes and really outgoing. But i’ll take that weird side effect over risperdones anhedonia and other horrible side effects.
I feel like i dont have any deep sleeps while on abilify though, while risperdone I was sleeping like a rock most nights.

I’m on Abilify. It makes me feel tired, dizzy and my hands tremble.

Rexulti chills me out and makes me tired when I take it in the evening.
Other than that I don’t notice any other issues.
If I go on an antipsychotic I’ve been on in the past, my memories revert back to the emotions I felt when I was I had those memories.
I feel put together and intelligent if I’m on the right stuff, things come easier to me. I get those occasional bursts of euphoria where I can almost smell even the memories before when I was a kid. So I feel clear headed.
I’m more social and want to talk. I can read and write coherently. I don’t get delusional as much, less paranoia. Hardly any hallucinations.
Give me a calm feeling, and logical mindset

I’m on haldol and I feel tired all the time. My hands shake too but that is it.
Mine slows my mind down. A lot. Which is both really good and really annoying.

Risperidone only partially works on me, 4mg lessens my voices a lot, really cleared up my mind, but it put me to sleep for 18hours a day. I’m now on 2mg and it helps maybe 30%.
Latuda is like a sugar pill to me, doesn’t help me at all. No changes in voices. Thinking is still off
Edit: starting geodon soon

Now I get sulpiride (200 mg at morning) and olanzapine (5 mg at evening), earlier I got two times larger doses of them (sulpiride - also as evening (200 mg)). I take paroxetine (40 mg at one dose) and chlorprothixene now.
Antipsychotics may not have so large influence on me. I may sleep more due to them and have lowered sexual drive. I may also not be so agitated, excited, have less autostimulating behaviors (which were present some years ago). Symptoms which may be considered psychotic do not vanish at all. I still have coincidences, “suspiciousness”, “belief” in lack of certain parts of body, substances in bodies of other people.

It makes me feel more grounded in reality. It helps me with the disassociation I often feel if I’m unmedicated.

I take three anti psychotics: Risperdal Consta, Geodon, and Seroquel.
What I love about them is that they get rid of the thought insertion, thought broadcasting, paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, delusions of reference, and they even out the mood swings.
What I hate is the akathisia, dry mouth, constipation, lack of motivation, lack of libido, and lack of orgasmic capacity.

Abilify,
Dizziness, fatigue, hunger is crazy,…
Invega is not sedating lack of sleep tired and also high prolactin …
I feel almost normal on Zyprexa. It gives me energy to be awake and alert all day to get things done, and it suppresses my appetite and is allowing me to lose weight. My paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations are 95% gone. It makes me feel GOOD. I don’t feel either too high or too low, just in a happy medium place.
There’s nothing I hate about it. It’s like I was just waiting to find the right med, and now that I have, things are falling into place.

I like my Zyprexa. Other meds did things to me… side effect things.

Seroquel made me tired and fat. All the others I feel normal and not tired. My new one, Zyprexa, makes me feel wired. I no longer talk to friends no one else can see and I’m not extremely over the top religious anymore. I’m still being followed by men. My phone and computer are still tapped and my house is still bugged.

turns down the volume of the voices which are the root of delusions and paranoia, i still get paranoid sometimes but its not as bad and since the voices are so quiet now i can snap out of it more easily
