Good question, it's difficult to decide what I believe is the worst possible side effect. I'd say its definitely the insomnia but also problems like anhedonia, akathisia, gynecomastia, weight gain, pratically no libido, the inability to express emotions, it has a certain name but I forgot, certain things like food no longer feel enjoyable. I could honestly go on forever.

I'm actually not on any antipsychotics, besides what's currently left of invega in my system which I immediately discontinued. They literally perscribed it to me for no valid reason whatsoever, since I'm not schizophrenic or psychotic.
 
If my insomnia continues for months I might straight up loose my ability to speak and type coherently. 😰 ( Oh thank god they realized how serious my situation is and gave me the appointment for later today. )

Theres a bigger danger of loosing your shit. Maybe ask your doc for a sleeping pill to take for a short while.

I've been off of it for over three months now, I'd mention the exact quantity of days but I'm not going to strain my severely sleep deprived brain at this point. And yeah I'll see what suggestion my doc makes in two hours from here. There's also far too many issues that can occur from such severe sleep deprivation, hence why it's as important as food and water, which I'm sure was a given.

I d love to share my story with u. I had fever and the doctor wrongfully prescribed me an antidepressant which i got psychosis from. They have hospitalized me and my parents believed the doctors and brought me in and out of hospital for 5 years. Then psychiatrists gave me two shots of invega sustenna. I had whining attacks, death fears, delusions and many other symptoms. I still have death fears and i cant be alone when i am outside. My car has to be Parked very close to where i wanna go. I can go to grocery store but Not to all, i can drive to work. I work twice a week at a preschool part time. I meet my friend once in 2 weeks. She understands my Situation. We go to the cinema or a cafe. I pick her up i couldnt do it on my own. I am taking seroquel and zopiclon to calm me down. Everyone on here says i should taper off meds i am Not sure if they worsen my Situation. Zopiclon definately minimizes my death fear.
