It’s not helping very much and I do not want to develop TD. My roommate at the hospital had it (she was in her 60s and had been on APs for decades) and her mouth moved constantly. I don’t want that. I at least want to reduce my dose.
I’ve been on cogentin a couple of times and I’m pretty sure it gave me blurry vision but it could have been lamictal as well, when I got new glasses I was fine. But still, if vraylar is not even helping then why take yet another med to control the side effects?
I took a Xanax to control the restlessness and I feel better now. I’m in a better mood so far.maybe a bit below Baseline, I’d say. So maybe vraylar is helping? It’s hard to say, it’s been a wild ride with light switch changes. Hopefully I can maintain this mood today through tomorrow and maybe beyond.
I was going to go to the tattoo shop and make an appointment to get my tattoo finished, and I was planning on getting a new ear piercing as well (tragus). But I’ll go tomorrow after php. I’m actually closer to the shop so it’ll be easy to just cross the bridge and go there.

Glad you're feeling better. I hope you enjoy your new tattoo and piercing. I also have a tragus piercing and I love it

I've been thinking about getting my nose re-pierced, I had it for a awhile but then I was inpatient in the hospital and they made me take it out, then I lost the stud and never got around to putting a new one in so it closed.
