Well ,i'm on olanzapine zyprexa 10mg but I stopped takeing them 3 months ago but for a few days i"m back on them now ,only 5mg this is a third generation antipsychotic like clozapine clozaril and quetapine seroquel .This classification is not chronological but it is a classification about the advances made in antipsychotic technology>my doctor told me about some new medicine but I don't remember zoleptil ..

I'm taking 40 mg of geodon a night. It is giving me headaches. I will try 20mg someday to see whether it will lessen.

I tried seroqual 50mg. It is very sedating. My whole right brain was numb. Also I went to e.R. Because my whole body was shaking. I don't recommend this one. Very scary feeling.

I'm currently taking 100mg of zoloft for depression/anxiety.

I recently tried abilify, but had a dystonic reaction to it.

In the past, I took prozac for depression.

Whatever you do take dont take 72 pro plus - it is not fun (and I later learned that 64 is the lowest recorded lethal dose) worst headache of my life an was trippin pretty bad.

Right now I only take risperdal 2mg. I used to take symbyax (olanzapine fluoxetine). I will be going on an antidepressant at my next pdoc appointment.

Hi I also suffered a psychotic episode due to being in a mixed state a couple of weeks ago. I have been taking risperidone and the drug is helping a great deal ... I also take 2mg like you. If it works, keep it going, dont worry about how old it is.

I take 200mg of seroquel.....U get over the side effects when you have had heavy doses of it. I used to be 1000mg of the caca........Still get a bit tired though.......

Tried abilify and it was like I was on speed constantly......

I take 2mg (soon to be 1mg) of risperdal and 180mg of geodon.

I was once on antipsychotic drugs until I knew the truth. The new antipsychotics are very dangerous like the old ones. My psychiatrist kept that from me. I learned that it can cause dopamine hypersensitivity that induces tardive dyskinesia. Also antipsychotics changes the struture of the brain and also increases psychosis later in life. There are a lot of successful recoveries from schizophrenia without using drugs. It is just to bad is not popular with psychiatrists.

I started with risperdal 3 mg, 2 mg at nite 1 mg by morning. Now is 1 mg by nite, 0.5 mg in the morning.

It function perfectly seprate the amout you take at once. If I take 1.5 mg at nite. I lost little control.
