Tried it years ago. Broke out significantly.

This is a difficult one and i have struggled with anti psychotic medication in the past

You will know yourself that it is trial and error to find a medication that works for you. It is worth persevering with and trying various options. Discuss it with your health care provider.

For various reasons i can't take anti psychotics. But when i have tried i have felt better being on them. But for other health reasons i can't take them. I would suggest an open discussion with your doctor, a bit of trial and error and you will know when you have found the one that works for you. Don't give up hope as there are many options available to you. I wish you well on your journey xx

@DVM77

This one was the *only* one that ever seemed to help me, but... When I took it, I felt gross for some reason, like I just jumped into a vat of pizza grease. And then it apparently started messing with my immune system, so I had to stop. I don't think that's an expected side effect, so maybe my doctor was wrong? Either way, it's a shame. This ended with me having to try a multitude of others that gave me nothing but other stupid side effects

I stopped taking it a few years ago. It made me gain weight and messed with my hormones. It did help with sleep and mania/psychosis though.
