Vraylar for me was one of if not the worst antipsychotic it made me feel disconnected from the world

But most meds DONT WORK for ME

latuda at first helped me with voices but I was constantly paranoid and delusional with ZERO insight you couldn’t convince me out of the delusional thoughts

Its good for some tho and latuda DID help with depression and motivation at first

Vraylar didn’t work for me. I was angry because on paper it seemed like such a good med

Latuda I took that for 18 months but then somehow failed to tolerate it

But our metabolisms and tolerances are all different

Best start with what you like the looks of and work from that

Messing around with meds is a pain but you can get lucky relatively speaking!

Thankyou @Joker i’m really hoping some better med is out there

My clopixol causes me severe anhedonia/ no emotions. And has little effect on everything else like paranoia, voices and low moods

The only godsend rn is the Vortioxetine which is noticably effective at reducing suicidal ideation

Thanks everyone!

Latuda is looking the better one so far

I’m on 6 mg of Vraylar, and it’s a great med for me. Doesn’t touch my negative symptoms, and I still get positive symptoms, but they are manageable. Not sure about the side effects – I don’t have any that are too bad

I am on low dose Vraylar/cariprazine and it helps a bit with negatives, maybe. But mainly it is harm reduction in terms of side-effects and keeping mild positives in check. Latuda caused anhedonia, horrible akathisia and body temparature dysregulation, so no help to negatives there. Btw - latuda needs food/calories when you take it and it is a hassle that way.

I’m on Vraylar, I don’t know if it helps with negs? I feel stimulated, but despite that I don’t do much.

Vraylar sent me into a horrible manic episode. I liked it until then

Latuda was ok for me with keeping positives in check, but I did get some akathisia and resltess leg syndrome when I’d go to bed. Never tried Vraylar.
