"It has fewer side effects compared to other antipsychotics, however, one side effect to be aware of is insomnia. I think overall, with how few side effects it has, it can be worth it for some people. It's also activating rather than sedating compared to other antipsychotics, so that's a plus too."

"This drug is terrible. I can't remember a thing. No desire or passion for anything. Stops my thought process almost entirely. Very scary."

"This medicine is a life changer! It's helped me live an almost completely normal life along with monitoring and therapy. I highly suggest you take a look at it if you are taking an oral antipsychotic and having trouble adhering to a medication regimen and/or don't want to have to think about another thing to take every day. I don't really notice large peaks and valleys as I was told to possibly expect with an extended-release medication. Also, the manufacturer has a huge coupon this year 2023."
