Iloperidone for Psychosis "I've been on this medicine since March 28, 2014, and it's currently 3/28/2017. Very effective medicine with no weight gain, but it takes away my ability to ejaculate, which I sometimes miss. I've really been waiting on the injection version to be available, as this is the best medicine we've found for me for depression and psychosis, and I'd like to try the shot. Our insurance, Aetna and Medicaid, covers the co-pay entirely. This medicine is great for anyone suffering from schizophrenia, depression, autism, or bipolar. I've been diagnosed with all four. Other medicines I've tried are Latuda, which gave me the need to constantly move, akathisia. I've been on nearly every medicine, and I'd recommend this one the highest. I also take clonidine to sleep."

Iloperidone for Bipolar Disorder "At first, I thought it was helpful because I want to remain open and optimistic. I do think the medication helped with some anxiety. The side effects for me were so negative. It became very clear once off the Fanapt how the side effects were adversely impacting me. I had severe joint and muscle pain as a result of taking Fanapt. I can deal with a little anxiety. My other medications take care of that: Lamictal and Topamax. Fanapt side effects outweigh the benefits for me. Yoga and breathing exercises and mindful meditation. Also, the restlessness and dry nasal passageways, and feeling that I had to constantly move and shuffle my feet, as well as the long-term possible tardive dyskinesia."

For Bipolar Disorder "My doctor switched me to this new med because I had tried three others and had horrible side effects with all of them. Vraylar, Risperidone, and Lamictal. I had really bad restlessness and gained weight with all of them. I was getting scared I wasn’t going to find one to help. I have been on this new one for two months and it’s the most even I’ve ever been. I had a fast heartbeat at first but it went away. I take 6mg twice a day."
