If you had to choose one, in peoples’ personal experience which antipsychotic is better (more tolerable) ~ why/why not…
@Negentropic I'm curious to know whether you've been on Risperidone injections or the pills. The reason I ask is because I was on and off the pills for a couple of years and didn't have many side effects that I can remember. It wasn't until I got a few injections that it caused anhedonia, flat affect, and sexual side effects that lasted for months after I stopped the injections.I liked risperidone the most in general because it had the least amount of side effects for me. However it was also the least sedating, which sometimes was desirable. For me it was the most functional and therefore the best for daily use.
Olanzapine made me gain weight (the others didn't) and also made me feel the most zombie like. My least favorite.
Quetiapine is OK but it can give me its own unique side effects like RLS due to it's anticholinergic effects. Hit or miss for me, but the best for occasional use IMO.

I noticed risperidone seemed to make me less irritable, less sensitive to certain stimuli. But it was difficult to quantify.It also helped with my autism symptoms while I was on it so I'm considering asking to be put back on it at some stage.

Yes this is very true. It's like asking which antibiotics are the best. They're all going to be good or not-so-good or horrible from one person to the next.You can't categorically speak of 'the' best antipsychotic. As with all medications patient's responses to any given drug and therefore its effectiveness for that particular patient are too individualistic.
lol how so, my man?Risperidone made my dick feel weird.![]()
