Think about the following for a minute.
We want to feel like we’re better and not sick.
Side effects
I’m willing to bet the truth is #1 for a lot of people.

My rationale was shorter sleep needed. But I’m back on 2 mg Haldol on account of voices not shutting the ■■■■ up.

Well the APs have side effects like rocking back and forth, not being able to sit still, or moving your tongue around. Also it seems like a lot of people take APs for awhile then somehow misidentify their schizophrenia symptoms for medicinal side effects and blame the very meds that are helping them. Then they get off them and go crazy.
In reality it’s a trade-off, you get to be sane and calm but you fidget a little on the AP… at least that’s how it works for me.

I think a lot of people don’t like the side effects, especially the weight gain that never seems to go away.
Personally I’d rather be plump and somewhat sane than the opposite.
