I'm on the lowest possible dose of Abilify right now, no side effects, only lack of sleep/stress induced psychotic symptoms at times.
Saphris made me gain weight, gave me akathisia, and didn't work for me even at the highest dose.
Latuda gave me akathisia almost as badly as 250mg of haldol deconoate as a first dose. It made me really tired too, and I don't recall it working for me.
Risperdal worked well for me, didn't cause weight gain, only caused akathisia at high doses. But while I was in the hospital they screwed up and gave me the max dose of Risperdal Consta and I became delirious and boy was that an experience (I'm told this is so rare the pdoc had never heard of it happening though and it was actually reported to the FDA. I had a really bad reaction to Invega as well for that matter).
