I Have Schizophrenia
I've been in remission for the past 2 years. Latuda worked miracles for me. It saddens me to see my symptoms slowly coming back.

@SW-User Latuda was a miracle for me. No typical antipsych side effects. Risperdal permanently fucked up my reproductive system. I took it at 14 and Im almost 20 now. but there should be more options than newer version of old stuff.

@bittybear that's the problem, they don't have anything that's genuinely new, it's just iterations of the same old stuff. I had such a bad experience with Seroquel that I'll never take antipsychotics ever again, even though they'd probably help in some ways.
There haven't been any new bipolar meds for decades, they're all just repurposed epilepsy drugs with all kinds of scary side effects of their own. I still take them, though, because the alternative is living in hell.
