Cobenfy

Day 1 Very crazy dry mouth and I’ve been experiencing a lot of nausea. My mind does seem a lot more clear and I don’t seem as panicked or bored like other antipsychotics seem to make me and I have no akathisia which I always get from meds. The nausea and dizziness might be exasperated by the fact I haven’t eaten yet but I think this med could be nice if the side effects go down for me like they have for most people that I’ve seen.

Update: I have had a severe side effect of bladder retention so I have to stop taking it for a few days, until I get this catheter out LOL, but my doctor thinks that if I take baby steps by only taking the night dose added with a medicine to help with the bladder retention that I could ease my way back into it. I don’t want this to scare anyone away as this medicine genuinely made me feel a tad bit better even on the first day, and I’ve heard amazing things about it. Will keep updated in about a couple days to a week !

Night 1 So I’m back on the cobenfy as well as a medicine to help counteract the urinary retention. I’m only going to be taking the night dose as to hopefully have my body get used to it and then be able to step up to the morning dose also without having to worry about the urinary retention. The night went well ! I didn’t have any trouble falling asleep and I only woke up like once or twice, completely normal for me, to use the bathroom. I also felt very good taking it, it made me feel okay with being social and I didn’t really have the “bad thoughts” like delusions and stuff as often and they didn’t feel as bad. Could just be a placebo effect but I can tell a slight difference even at this low dose.
