I fear almost everyone
Sometimes i fear everything and everyone
It’s paranoia. Do you take your meds?
Yes every day but it doesn’t go away
Maybe you should up your clozapine?
You take clozapine, right?
Yes but I think it causes oculogyric crisis which isnt good
What’s this?
Haven’t heard it before
eyes fixated upward, it hurts my eyes
Have you cycled through all of meds then? Asking since you have tried clozapine.
nope ive only tried Abilify (pills and the shot) and risperidone
You still have quite a few left to try.
One experiences symptoms like paranoia when ego gets dissolved in anxiety. Helps if you chip away at anxiety as it appears. Lot easier said than done. Just a pointer.
What meds should I try?
I can’t tell you that. Everyone responds differently to these. I took clozapine in early days for a month to deal with insomnia. Didn’t experience any trouble.
Olanzapine and amisulpride both worked great. Amisulpride helped me lose weight which I had gained on olanzapine. Amisulpride helped with absentmindedness/blankness of mind.
Tried zotepine. New drug in market at time. Supposed to be stimulating. Made me real sleepy. And gave me panic/tachycardia like experience on days.
Tried aripiprazole. Was taking it cause I was difficulty getting aroused. It helped me with obsessive thinking. Not so much with sexual arousal.
Cariprazine is making lot of noise these days due to it helping with negative symptoms and cognitive deficits as well.
It’s not one drug works for all.
I see. My goal id to lose some weight
There are meds which don’t cause as much weight gain. Ones I tried were amisulpride and aripiprazole. You have to keep in mind that med change helps you with primary symptoms first. Weight loss can come later.
Amisulpride elevates prolactin for some people to abnormally high levels. It can be distressing.
I’m on aripiprazole already so doubt it helps
Everyone is different.
Amisulpride did raise my prolactin levels slightly but not to ones requiring specific treatment. My doc said well you can try aripiprazole just so you feel ok about things.
So am I ??? 1515
I’m just gonna keep telling you over and over to listen to what your Dr thinks. Not a bunch of strangers on a forum.
I don’t trust my dr
