Antipsychotic Reaction

At age 21 I was put on antipsychotics for bipolar disorder which caused major obsessive thoughts on existence and wanting to hurt myself. I ended up in the hospital for a few days. I am now off of it and taking Zoloft which has helped a lot currently just got bumped up to 150 mg to take the edge off.

I’m on zoloft(sertraline) 150mg also as well as Klonopin. I’ve had no problems with either one and they do help.

Can I please ask you what medication you were on?

Zyprexa was one of them, and then geodon, and Latuda. They kept changing them to another antipsychotic saying that the medication wasn't causing it. Since I'm off of it I have been 1,000 x better but still have a few issues now and again. Nothing compared to what it was.
