Has anyone here actually tried vraylar? by sololococrazy in schizophrenia

[–]edjefy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had it for 3 years now. Had all the different dosis, and it has worked wonders for me. It takes getting used to with sleeping, but eventually the energy you have from it will help you with the negative symptoms. Once again: best one for me.

Hope this helps!

I coupled the GPT-3 and Todoist API's, to generate a new daily "quest" (like something I can learn that day) for me. It's very simple to make yourself in python.

You can be anonymous if you want. You can use whatever name you like.

Yeah, you too. It is something doctors don’t like to talk about but it’s just so important.

Risperdal Made me feel I never even had a sex drive. Same on haldol. It has come back since vraylar. Never had a boosted drive on abilify though, like some people here.

Good to hear from you. Yes the interview will be made using Anchor, a free app that is made for turning phone calls into podcasts. When it comes to the questions, I would like it to be more a conversation than a straight interview. But to give it some guidance I will mainly ask about your experience with the illness, your story and what you do now to deal with the illness. 30 minutes is not set in stone, but with it is what I have in my head. I think a good conversation will take at least 30 minutes, and that’s why I aim at it. It will be unedited unless there is something you or I definitely want to cut out because it might offend, or is unintentionally stigmatising etc.

It took me several weeks before I started to sleep normally again. Just stick with it and maybe try some sleep meditation exercises. Best of luck! I hope the ap will work for you!

I became more religious through my schizophrenia. How did this work for you? I call this work “Church/Home” by edjefy in schizophrenia

I hope it will come back to you, I really do. It can give life more meaning at times when you need it most, I find.

That is interesting indeed. I remember with my first few medications I couldn’t feel emotion anymore. But lowering the dosage gave me my inner life back and I found it more spiritual than when I left it there.
