For Psychosis "This medication has changed my life. It helps me with my psychosis, depression, and anxiety, with virtually no side effects. It made me tired initially, but that didn't last longer than a week. I also lost a few pounds, which is great because I had gained lots of weight on other medicines. I LOVE Fanapt! I'm a new person on this medication, and for the first time in my life, I am doing well in school."

For Schizophrenia "I have been taking 12 mg Fanapt for more than a year. My symptoms have become tolerable, but the side effects are annoying. I am tired all the time, and my whole body is sore. I don't think the benefits outweigh the side effects, so I'm going to move on to the next medicine."

For Schizophrenia "Been on Fanapt since 2016 until I stopped taking it and got myself in trouble. We then started trying different medications, including Latuda, Abilify, and Invega. I got back on in 2018, and it seems like this is the only one that keeps me stable, lessens the hallucinations, delusions, and anger, along with keeping me out of trouble and from doing crazy things. The Latuda caused tardive dyskinesia and caused me to not sit still. It also caused nerve damage in my body, which later I had to be treated for. The Invega made me very tired, and I was unable to work full-time. However, unfortunately, the side effects are really bad. I’m unable to ejaculate and enjoy having sex with my wife. I also am frequently tired and am restless throughout the day. The other terrible side effect included is the massive weight gain."
