Antipsychotics are hard on me. At any dose, they knock me out for a half a day. For instance:

Abilify- brain and body zaps, I can see sparks in my sub-conscience, pass out for hours on the lowest dose.
Latuda- smallest dose, I sleep for 4 hours a night to awake every hour by wild vivid dreams in a cold sweat
Seroquel- I'll sleep for 20 hours
Respiradal- I'll sleep for 14 hours
Geodon- I sleep for 12 hours

Then I read about all the long term effects like tardive-dyskinesia, memory and brain function loss, I just can't do it.

I'm even beginning to question the use of any kind of mental illness drug. Can you get disability without being treated?

I've survived a half of a lifetime without meds. Sure I get a little delusional at times, but I never really was a danger to myself or anyone, not like if I miss a few doses now.

I'm on the fence about treatment, and I get that there are those that have no choice. But I wonder if I have a choice, I think so.

Back to the topic, does anyone else have difficulty with anti-psychotics?
