Haldol Pros: Crushes psychosis like no other med I've ever taken. Has become my bedrock for the elimination of psychotic symptoms.

Haldol Cons: Makes me tired. If I'm not careful and I take it too late, I can end up sleeping way later than I want to. Causes akathisia.

Abilify Pros: Works in conjunction with my Haldol. Good at fighting psychosis. Doesn't make me tired and can even give me energy. Overall, a solid med.

Abilify Cons: Akathisia and dry mouth.

Lamictal Pros: The reason I've barely found myself in mania since reaching an effective dose. Has done a great job in keeping my moods stable. One of the most innocuous meds I've ever taken; I have almost zero negative side effects. Makes me relaxed before bed.

Lamictal Cons: Every once in awhile, I can get a very minor rash somewhere on my body (does not bother me and always goes away).

Cogentin Pros: Does a good job of mitigating my AP-induced symptoms of akathisia.

Cogentin Cons: Dry mouth.
