What's the longest you've been on a particular anti-psychotic?

Doesn’t matter if you also had something else, I’m just curious about the longest time everyone has stayed on a particular anti-psychotic.

I have been taking Geodon for 9 years but now I take a small dose of Latuda with it. I have only been doing that for almost 3 years now. It really helps make up for the short half life of Geodon and it improves my negatives.

I’ve been on abilify for about 5 years. I’m currently switching to vraylar. I was on respirdal for only a couple of months and gained like 40 pounds on it. I was actually able to lose 20 pounds while taking abilify, but it took effort.

I’ve been on Geodon and Seroquel for over ten years now. I don’t really feel the Seroquel, and I wonder if it is having any effect on me. I’m wondering if we can justify the expense to the taxpayer.

I’ve been on Risperdal for 22 years and on Geodon for almost that length of time. And they work great for me.
