no, i was just asking why? thats all 
Iāve been an aspiring writer for a long time. Though my writing still needs work, it has come up a little recently. When I was on Haldol my imagination was stone cold dead. Geodon and Seroquel keep me stable and also let me write.

Because as everyone else here, I do statistics on which drugs are more effective.
I used to make my money from my imagination, but three years on Risperdal really slowed it down to near zero. Good thing i have been taking a career break while coping with the aftermath of a first episode. Now that I am on Orap it is a little better. Still not back where it used to be though.

it might be more effective for me but not for you or others, we are all different thats all i was saying

No. There are some medicines like Clozapine which might work on letās say 70% of people, then goes Haloperidol that may work on 50% of people, etc. Like I said, I consider how a drug is effective by statistics.
iām just saying that anybody changing meds is taking a risk, i would say always talk to you pdoc and let him know where you are at, if he thinks you need a med change then he will tell you, but if you are desperate like i was and thought abilify would help bc everybody else was trying it then thats not a good thing esp since i had a really bad reaction to it,
but i had to change as it was affecting my health and wasnt working very well any more. so my next choice was a med that i had tried before but hadnt given it a chance so i thought iād give it another go, luckily it paid off but not everyone is as fortunate as me, its not fair but thats just the way it is,
Well, I could get an idea of changing my med, since I am not satisfied by it, has many side effects, I know I will take a risk if I change it, but maybe itās worth it. You said everybody has tried Abilify, I am saying I am searching which drugs are more effective to choose from. However, I am not searching it for now, but if my medicine totally stops working, because my doctor wonāt let me change medicine.
Much of my psychotic inner world is the result of my vivid imagination. During hospital stays I was under stimulated and sought refuge wih my telepathy delusions. On the outside I mostly found the voices to be a nuissance.
how will you know which drugs are more effective than others if you havent tried them? and if you did try a new one would you risk getting unwell? i had to risk it, i had no choice, i would probably say that my med and dose would probably not work for about 99.9% of people maybe less
Well, ok, I can at least tell my doctor to put me on Amisulpride instead of Clozapine if I get unwell, knowledge is never bad.
When ever my medication changes, so does my imagination. When I first tried Risperidone I had amazing and beautiful dreams of complex shapes dancing. Most of my imagination is geometric and mathematical in nature. I like to simulate different worlds and play in them. I have amazing dreams and I blog about them too. Here is my blog called āVenturing alternative realitiesā http://venturing-alternative-realities.blogspot.com/

i wouldnt say that, knowledge can be bad sometimes,
i told my friend that i didnt want clozapine ever and when they were wanting to put me on it she told them my wishes so i dodged that bullet, not that its a bad drug but it just scared me bc i heard that it could be a bit more dangerous than other meds.
it was just a fluke that i tried this med and it was an even bigger fluke how good it is. just saying it might not work for everyone obvs but as i say it is a risk, you need to be 100% ready tto try something else, xxx

iām sorry i cant read your blog, i can only read so much and my eyes get sore but i think thats great that you still have your imagination like that and it sounds really cool and complex,
my dreams are a lot more related to life. like a few days ago i had a dream of my dads funeral after i said something on here about him on a post, it was an even better funeral than he had and it was amazing bc they were handing out pizza and i told my sister about it and she said it was my dad sending me a message, and i like to believe that i like to believe there is something bigger than just this life, my dad is still here in spirit which means he isnt really dead in a way.
As I said, I will try it ONLY if the one I am on now wonāt be effective to me anymore. Have a good night.
