Drug List

Want to try

Modafinil(sleep 7-8 hours instead of 10)(100 mg)
seroquel
Chlorpromaz, Thiothixene, Olanzapine

Much of the sedating and sleep giving effects of drugs such as Zyprexa and Seroquel are from their high affinity for histamine receptors. The affinity thing means that you can get much of the sedating effect without so much of the other effects by taking very small doses of those drugs.

All drugs except haloperidol, ziprasidone(Geodon 20mg ), and lurasidone(20mg-120mg) caused weight gain.

Vraylar

So I started this along my Zyprexa and I believe it caused Psychosis for me.

One of my concerns about this medication is that it also causes weight gain like Zyprexa.

It doesn’t seem to help me sleep or make be drowsy, but I’m not sure.  It appears it does make it difficult to swallow but I’m not sure.

Abilify

I think Abilify is fairly expensive but I’m not sure because my insurance covers pretty much everything.

I didn’t take this for long partly because I don’t think it helped me sleep.

Heard good things.  Not sure the correct dosage.  It isn’t supposed to make you gain weight.

I took 30mg of a fairly old tablet tonight.  It seemed to treat my symptoms but ultimately made me puke for some reason.

How Abilify Works, And Why It Matters

Zyprexa/Olanzapine

I go back and forth on Zyprexa.

If you don’t need to get up at a set time everyday Zyprexa doesn’t seem to be so bad.

I sleep like 11-12 hours on this medication mostly.  It is possible to probably work every other day with this medication.  For example I would actually go to school every other day on this medication.  Wasn’t to bad but it makes you really tired in the mornings at least for me.

Top co-used drugs for these people *:

  • Seroquel (2,816 people, 43.79%)
  • Risperdal (1,717 people, 26.70%)
  • Abilify (905 people, 14.07%)
  • Geodon (779 people, 12.12%)
  • Depakote (721 people, 11.21%)

It causes crazy weight gain over the three years I took it gained 40 pounds at least.

Seroquel is a similar drug but is sometimes sold for recreational use

One in every 145 patients who entered the trails for risperdone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and a forth atpyical called sertindole died, and yet those deaths were never mentioned in the scientific literature.
