I don't feel like my mind belongs to em anymore. My brain is in the wrong body.
I'm guessing I need to give it all time to work, but I'm feeling like I will never be better and I'm a waste of a life :-/

Please give the medications time Robyn. I tried six antipsychotics to find the right fit for me. I now take Saphris, and Geodon. I'm calm , peaceful, and happy
You have to find what works for you.I know hard it can be, trust me. Some medications can take up to six weeks to have full effect. There are quite a few antipsychotics you can try if this latest one doesn't work out. My prayers are with you
