The ironic thing is Olanzapine which I was on years ago was sedating but it wore off during the morning, I don't think it's that. I'm guessing I just have low dopamine in one part of my brain but high in another causing the psychosis. I am wondering whether all meds would do the same or if them binding to different receptors would mean there would be another that wouldn't have this effect for me. |
Here is my understanding---those with effects on histamine are going to be the most sedating----those are typically the ones that make you gain weight as well. So abilify doesn't really fall into the sedating/weight gain category----are you taking anything else maybe for the akathasia that could be sedating?
Other options would be latuda or geodon....
