… When you became medicated on aps?
I was so shocked that I couldn’t run anymore.
It was one of the most depressing times for me

The most that affected me is that I lost the little emotions I had before sz. I never had strong emotions even before sz but the sz even robbed that of me. Personally for me its not only the meds but mainly the sz as I went off meds for 2yrs and never got my emotions back. I have more primary than secondary negative symptoms.

I was shocked to be almost completely in control of my own thoughts. Before meds, I felt like I couldn’t control any of my thoughts. It was pure chaos. But after meds, it was like a light switch was flipped.

Ive never stayed on them for more than a few months at a time. The two things i noticed is id get sleepier after taking geodon but not risperidone. Seroquel felt like benadryl. I dont like benadryl lol.
They just tamped my temperment down a bit.

That happened to me after a bunch of rtms sessions. It felt very strange like my head was empty.

My muscles turned stiff. I walked around like a board, every step was agony. That went on a few days until they gave me some cogentin and the medication was more tolerable. They were giving me a huge dose of medication. It was twice as much as the highest dose they give now of that particular medication.
