I don't have any experience with that. I have felt numb with lack of drive and flatness with other meds. I'd do some research and work with your doc to find the best outcome. I do remember that right after I was first hospitalized I was on large doses of anti-psychotics and that will sure do it to you.

I don't have any experience with that drug. I enjoyed being flat. It took a lot to make me angry. I was just mellow. I thought that was how you were suppose to feel. lol

I am on Paliperidone 9mg.
I love it, no problems with it. But I am also an odd ball, I love Seroquel too, Both sedative, so maybe that's why you feel numb.

I have no knowledge about that drug.

But I know the 'flatness' of which you speak and ..... well, yuck!!!

I'm sorry times have been rather tough for you for a while now.
I hope you're in a more satisfactory place very soon!!!!
