I have mixed feelings on anti psychotics.
I have been on geodon for about a year. It has really helped my depression a lot of and I am more social on it.
But the side effects are pretty bad. It takes me a long time to wake up the the morning, sometimes close to 3 hours. My sleep schedule also has to be the same every night or else I feel like sh*t. And if I get less than 8 hours in a night, I am dead tired.
The worst part is the sexual side effects. It takes me forever to finish and sometimes I cant get aroused at all.
I do feel better on them so I am not sure what do to do. I am on winter break right now from school so I Think it might be a good chance for me to try and get off them. I was just so miserable before I started the drug that I am worried I will go back to that. So...feel a little better, or pretty much have a horrible sex life?
It is a very hard decision.
