Antipsychotic Juxtaposition

Postby RenegadeRebel » Wed Jul 16, 2014 4:43 pm

Howdy,
I have a problem with my antipsychotics and can't get in with my doc yet.
My Ziprasidone treatment has stopped working. I am very prone to side effects and that is why I'm on a light antipsychotic, but it just doesn't work. At the same time, major antipsychtics I've been on, such as haldol, Incapacitate me. They put me into a stupor and I get memory loss and sleep all day, not to mention EPS. Ziprasidone already knocks me out which is why I take it right before bed.

I'm quite lost, Is anyone else in a situation like this? What meds work but are fairly non-drowsiness-causing because it is so severe if I take it in the morning I'll be asleep all day at school the next day, barely able to hold my head up.

:cry:

Hi,
Have you talked to your Doctor about this? If so, what have they said?
