I'm prescribed 50mg PRN for sleeping but I only ever take 25 and only if I'm desperate. I found the next-day grogginess was impacting my willingness to lift and hike a bit.

Yeah I was on 400mg twice/day. I was gaining weight and could not motivate myself to work out. Even going for a walk took massive concentration that sort of ruined the whole endeavor. I was able to finish school (barely, and under strict supervision) but never applied for an internship or tried to get into a residency program, so I am not qualified to practice.

Geodon is better, but I have to take 40mg twice/day of Haldol to manage reality. I have some trembling in my hands/fingers that really bother me. The two medicines taken together make it hard to function, but I am able to lose weight now and go for a (slow) walk every day. I cannot lift any more like I did in high school because of muscle weakness/fatigue. Small price to pay for getting rid of the critics and suicide squad.

Whats up shaky hands buddy/

Christ Geodon was a big mistake on my part, and I'm not even schizophrenic. I dunno why the gently caress I was prescribed it actually. How's a nerd supposed to paint warhams with shaky hands maaaaaaaaan?

But it totally hosed up my fine motor functions. 0/10 would not take again.
