Simba Cub Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 For me, it has to be Risperidone. I don't know why, but it literally knocked me out! On the plus side, it was good against my psychotic symptoms (a game changer for me as my first antipsychotic!) it was just annoying that 20 minutes after taking it I ended up unconscious!

Hopelessly Broken Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I have far too many beyond horrible experiences to dignify any of them with such a label. In fact, that is all I have had. Apparently psychiatry is yet to have come far enough to be able to reach the mess that is my brain chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChunkOfCheesecake Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Effexor-- wrecked my psyche. Years later after I recovered, I realized it resolved my horrible anxiety conditions (yes, plural). Left me a bit anhedonic, relaxed, and thinking a bit gummed up.

Nebula Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I truly felt drugged on Effexor. I lost part of my personality. Very hard drug to quit, serious brain zaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluent In Silence Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 What sort of drugs are we talking about? Cocaine has always seemed a bit shit. I've tried it a few times and nothing. I thought that if you tried it once you'd become an addict and end up selling your arse to truckers to pay for your habit, which might've made my life more interesting. Whenever I've done coke it's just meh! What's all the fuss about? Was that it? Same with marijuana. Yay I feel hungry and fucking paranoid. This is meant to be fun is it? Don't do drugs kids. Stick to alcohol. No don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a light weight Nah, you're not lightweight, people react to meds in different ways. I used to be on 550mg of Clozapine which worked really well, but it turned out that in my case this was a toxic dose, so we've been experimenting ever since with reduced doses and additional antipsychotics ever since.
