I have taken seroquel, geodon, zyprexa, risperdal, haldol, ... and my mind was 'blurried' and my memory was horrible with them. My cognition was better during a psychotic break than when I was taking these meds.
Have you experienced cognitive decline because of antipsychotics?

You will face a problem, yes, these are mind altering drugs, but, your body needs to adapt, bear in mind their is an initial system shock, when taking some new meds. Thats why you use your downtime, e.g unemployment, to get this **** over and done with. So you need to try and take something consistent at a dose your comfortable with, seesawing is just going to be hard on you.
