Does anybody have any experience with this new AP Fenept (iloperidone)?

I’ve been on so many different antipsychotics.. Iloperidone, fluphenazine, quetiapine and now lurasidone (AKA: Latuda) To help alleviate schizophrenia symptoms.

I just heard it recently was approved for bipolar I mania and mixed episodes. If you have tried it what are your opinions on it? Is it generally sedating or activating? I’m on Olanzapine now but it makes me so tired I am thinking of switching. Thanks in advance for any answers!

My doctor gsve me olanzapine to aid sleep. In the perscription he specifivallly wrotr "to aid sleep". This made me think the medicine could be taken as needed, but no. My nurse found out i had skipped the sleeping pill and put me in the psycgward arguing "laxk of compliance"

Has anyone ever successfully lost their meds weight? I just seem to be getting bigger.

Risperidone made me lactate... yep Latuda made me throw up every single time I took it Olanzapine made me feel like I was drunk Seroquel made me gain 40kg and Lamotrigine gave me the rash

Celebrating weight loss after olanzapine

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

For the first time in a very very long time I am actually proud of myself. I am now stable on Tegretol, clonidine, and olanzapine. I have a job, I was promoted to manager and even made employee of the month. I can't believe how far I've come. 7 months ago I was homeless and strung out on the streets

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?
