What prompted the increase? Did the increase work out for you ?
I have recently moved up to 20 mg twice a day of geodon instead of once a day. Technically this is the normal starting dose but I was started on a smaller one due to my medication sensitivity. I have experienced no side effects as of yet!

Loss of libido neither?
I asked my pdoc to double my dose of Wellbutrin from 100 mg a day to 200 mg a day. I got kind of spooky on that dose, so I asked my pdoc to switch me back. 100 mg a day suits me fine.

Not that I’m aware of.
I didn’t realise you were on an AP at last. Fingers crossed it works out for you.

Yep, my trial run of living alone did not go well psychosis wise. So I need to be on it for the summer at least. If it works very well for me and nothing disastrous happens (fingers crossed!) I will stick with it after that as well!!

Keep in mind just cause your living alone doesn’t mean you don’t still have the stress of family. Rather just all those conversations and discussions are condensed into a short intensive “care” session when you do see them.
Sorry I’m a bit confused by what you mean? My family is moving out of state ahead of me and I will be completely alone in my apartment for a month. I don’t even have friends that live near me.
Extended isolation and lack of structured activity in my days are my primary sources for a psychotic episode and every major psychotic episode I’ve had in the past 4 years was due to that.
I increased my Latuda from 60mg to 80mg in March. At the same, I switched my abilify shot (400mg) from every four weeks to every three.
Zero side effects
Slight improvement in psychosis/delusions
Major improvement in mood
Anxiety about the same

Sorry. I’ve read so many posts that the consensus seems to be the opposite, including myself.
I get stressed out at home too and have ranted about it several times on here I think so don’t worry about being confused! Too much socialization is overwhelming to me as well. My mental state is rather fragile unfortunately.
last time I had a med change was last Tuesday technically Friday my doctor changed me from the 30mgs a day of the pills to 50mgs every two weeks of the injections.
