Medicine will make you tired. No more wanting to have sex, because you can't get it up.Grew man boobs.Price of medicine is high even though it has been out for years.Started off at 105 pounds and now 195 in three months.I'm a short guy about 5'5" and now it harder to walk because of the weight gain.

There is no weight gain, so I guess I will try and figure out a plan to fight it. Same old battle, just new drug.

I have been taking Fanapt for a week and half. The side effects at first were horrible; dizziness, headache, fatigue, dry eyes and mouth, congestion, insomnia, etc. I was switching from Latuda to the Fanapt and there was a little while when I was first on it that my symptoms came back (hallucinations and delusions mostly).

Now I'm to the point where I could handle the side effects I still have (dry eyes, mouth, congestion) except that my legs keep swelling pretty big. I'm using Flonase for the congestion, which really helps. My symptoms are under control but I have a feeling that when I see my psychiatrist they will want me to switch to something else.
