Well i'd hope the AP would reduce the stress, because the more stress the more symotoms will pop up. So perhaps if you have more stress then it's not taking care of your symptoms as well.

As for the snapping turtle side effect, isn't that called something? Could that cause a lng term side effect? There are plenty of AP's out there. Maybe Latuda or Zyprexa would be a better fit. Please tell me they gave you a side effect pill fo ryour akathisia like Cogentin or something else. That side effect is horrible!!!
Thanks for this!

DT...invega is the active form of risperdal.....I'm sure they switched for cost savings......

Hopefully I'll be able to ask tomorrow what they are giving me. I had Cogentin at home. I also want to ask for an anti anxiety prn. That one I might go ask for right now. They haven't brought my meds yet. I feel some weird withdrawal from something. No, I'm not here for meds - they switched them at the hospital. I'm being warehoused while they wait to see if I'll get some type of state benefits, not like regular Medicaid. The only reason I haven't hired a lawyer to.fight my way free of the conservatorship is that I want to see if assisted living is something I can deal with.

Yes I honestly can't believe the company re patented the active form and got people to buy it in pill form, the injection I understand it has fewer side effects since it bypasses the stomach.

Why did you do that? I actually sometimes feel like I want to cut, here. Because I'm reduced to helpless infanthood and I'm frustrated and angry about my lack of freedom. I'm sorry you cut though. Were you feeling angry or frustrated?
