Fanapt side effects

[Been there Done that]

I noticed that I have been having a challenge understanding what I read. I am taking effexor 150mg., risperadal 2mg.,fanapt 20mg.,trazadone 50mg., and lamictal 200mg. Does anyone else have problems with reading comprehension while taking fanapt(antipsychotic)?

I've never taken that medication but my first thought would be have you mentioned this to your doctor or pharmacist?

I haven't had a chance to talk to my psychiatrist.I have talked to pharmacists and they don't know anything about it. Has anyone else tried this?

I have taken it but my psychiatrist took me off of it because of side effects.

are the side effects like memory or reading comprehension?

YOur pharmacist should know all the side effects of the meds you are taking If not time to get a new pharmacist hun You can go online and type in the name of the drug and it will give you all side effects The best person though would be your doctor as not all people react the same way to the same drug Hope you are able to find out the cause of your comprehension difficulties
