| 2 | irratability, anxiety, insomnia | "floating" feeling, hungover feeling in the morning, minor bodily aches, emotionally numb | It worked very well for the insomnia. Once I got the timing right, I would feel very sleepy when it kicked in, go to bed, and stay asleep. I was even able to quit taking Ambien. That said, it did not take away the anxiety or irritability, but numbed any positive emotions (happiness, excitement, love). I just didn't feel like myself and wanted to quit the drug immediately, which I did, which was a horrible idea as I had major crying jags and paranoia. So I weaned myself off and feel much better. I'd rather live with anger and anxiety than the feelings this drug gave me. | F | 23 | 45 days 1.5 MG 1X D | 3/28/2013 | 1 | Anxiety | What can i say What's that movie Monkey something??? I felt like i was in a movie, bad one at that. Then i ate everything in the fridge like a crazy person! and got all fat :( no thank you | wigged out not even here. | M | 44 | 1 months 10 1X D | 10/6/2012 | 1 | Psychosis | No emotions, flat, depressed, walking around in a zombie like condition, sucidal thoughts, empty feeling,despair, twitching, drooling | Oh my god you can not be serious, they are prescribing me a drug which makes me worse than I am. It has no benefit except tranquillise. Read Robert Whitaker"Mad in America" the real truth behind the use of antipsychotic is that they make you more psychotic. These drugs damage your brain. Get off them today. The only way to deal with mental illness is rest recuperation exercise good diet no sugar meditation yoga acupuncture and positivity through friendsand family | M | 32 | 4.5 months 1.5 1X D | 9/18/2011 | 2 | a feeling of heaviness/"depression" in my heart and head, hopelessness/despair, brooding thoughts, prolactin increase, light period. not fun. horrible overall. | stopped drug almost cold turkey. physical depression started to lift. lots of anxiety though. possibly the worst I've ever had. almost nautious. queezy feeling in body. insomnia. mental depression and despair. brooding thoughts. think my withdrawl lasted about a week and a half and I'm slowly coming out of it. (relief). oh, and then there was the odd nightmare like scene I had as I tried to drift into sleep. not fun. pretty scary. | F | 32 | 6 weeks 1 2X D | 7/13/2011 | 3 | borderline personality disorder | So far, I've had terrible insomnia. When I do force myself to sleep, I have constant nightmares. | I'm really worried about all of the side effects that people are saying, like the weight gain. I haven't noticed anything like that, but I've only been on the medication for a week. | F | 19 | 7 days .5 1X D | 2/15/2011 | 3 | Drug Induced Psychosis | greater problems with communicating(more so than usual), anxiety with blushing(I get this on all antipsychotics), Waking up early in the morning, man boobs may have gotten larger, at least at least I've noticed there more defined :), slight feeling of being drugged up. | So far its the best antipsychotic I've been on, which doesnt say much about the use of these types of substances. Unlike Olanzapine and Seroquel I dont feel the need to sleep 14+ hours a day which is nice. Has it helped with the voices? Yes a bit... there more constant but less intense. I'll probably be getting my dose put up this week. Mood wise I prefer the it when im of my medication then when im dosed up on antipsychotics which may be because im more psychotic with out them but I doubt it | M | 25 | 3 months 2mg 1X D | 10/24/2010 |
