New to Medication, Seeking Advice

Hi all. New here and new to the medication. I took it for the first time last night and it was the first night I had a full and restful night's sleep in weeks. I am hopeful, I have had drugs work for me and then konk out. I am only on 20 mg at the moment but it may be adjusted as needed. How well did or does it work for you and if you went off it why? Thanks!

Hi, without ziprasidone I can’t function like a normal person. It was a little annoying that it made me need more sleep, but that’s counteracted by ADHD medicine now

Thank you. Considering that I can't sleep. Last night was the first time in months I didn't get up multiple times. I was surprised when I woke up later than 6AM.

I love my ziprasidone! It helps with visual distortions (my version of psychosis), sleep, and anxiety.
