Have y'all ever tried an antipsychotic again that you previously moved on from?

Medication

I'm on clozapine right now and it's giving me a lot of side effects that are hard to tolerate. I'm wondering if there's a chance I could ever try vraylar again because I liked being on it. The thing is like a lot of the antipsychotics I've been on, it works for 6-9 months and then I go into an acute episode of psychosis while on it. While in the psych ward they tried putting me on both Vraylar 6mg and then some Zyprexa and it didn't stop my acute symptoms so that's why they moved on to clozapine again. I'm wondering that even if the medication didn't work to stop my acute episode, if there's a chance at all that I could try it again?

Sorry for asking this question here. I tried googling and researching as much as I could and I couldn't find anything on people retrying medication that they were on in the past.
