I feel I'm competent enough to refuse meds I don't want to be on. But they don't think I am apparently.

listen to me.
I take geodon an antipsychotic and it is weight neutral. I take it to prevent mania. It is my mood stabilizer. (no side effects) I take 80mg twice a day. It has saved me from myself. bizi

I was on geodon. It gave me heart issues. Unfortunately.
I actually lost weight while I was on it. That was great. I really don't mind haldol. The only side effect I have, when I'm on a higher dose is akathisia. The dose I'm on right now doesn't give me that, as long as I take my cogentin the way I'm supposed to (as in, actually take it).

Hello, hope things are even slightly better for you today, and that you've found some options. I really didn't get that you were trashing your parents, it just sounds like this may not be the healthiest environment for you right now.
Take care Bolivar |

Thank you bolivar.
I've decided to just do the best I can to avoid them when they're drinking and turn out the light in my bedroom so it looks like I'm sleeping and hide out under my desk with a pillow, and I would say with my phone but I have zero reception out here.

I have been dead set against the use of AP meds-- both generations of them simply because I have had no psychosis. Latuda has helped my severe depression more than any anti-depressant has ever helped. I am still anxious to get off of it, yet not because its not helping me. It's helping me significantly.
Major hugs of support to you!  WC |

I wish geodon had worked out for me. It helped a lot.
