I am on haldol, only 4mg. However I am having mouth movements (I feel like my whole mouth is vibrating at times) and I’m also staring with my mouth open. Makes me feel stupid. Even if I’m listening to morning meeting or something in my classroom my mouth is open. So this whole track of posts has been very interesting to me. Second gen APs do not work without unacceptable and often unusual side effects.

The most recent one I tried was vraylar and it made me so manic I’d often be up until 2am coloring in the living room madly. I also scrubbed the whole bathroom by hand including what could have just been mopped instead. Vraylar is designed to be effective for both manic and depressive episodes but I was so out of my mind manic, I haven’t been that manic since I started depakote five years ago. That always kept a lid on it.

Anyway if I ever get to see a psychiatrist again (don’t get me started) maybe I can go in with these suggestions.
