Do these medications mix well?
I have had partial response to both on monotherapy.
Do these medications mix well?
I have had partial response to both on monotherapy.
Currently, I am taking Abilify and Clozapine. But I don’t have any sexual desire on the Clozapine.
Any suggestions?
Your pdoc might know better
He says the side effect is from Clozapine. Others say it could be the condition. How to know?
I am taking Abilify 30 mg and Clozapine 262.5 mg.
I have voices less than .25 percent of the time in the day. My mood is steady.
Different Psychiatrists are saying different things.
I take both. 80mg olanzapine and 60mg aripiprazole, plus 60mg haldol
But these are very high doses. 30 mg is the max for Abilify, 15 for Olanzapine I believe.
I know. Meds don’t work in my case.
If they don’t work, why are you taking extremely high doses?
There is no other way?
I don’t know. I am guinea pig of my pdoc.
A good Psychiatrist may be able to fix it.
I already see a very good pdoc. I have changed 3 psychiatrists. They all used to give me high doses
But, clinically speaking, those doses are not supposed to work than the max dosage.
Everytime I call him and I say that my meds don’t work, he increases dose. They work for a bit and then they stop
Okay, so I have no sexual desire. Is there a way out of this? Anything that might help?
I have low libido too. I don’t mind it
I get it. Where is your Psychiatrist located?
Good Psychiatrists take cash. Just my observation.
In the capital of Greece, Athens.
He takes 100€. More than any other pdoc of the past
Well, I don’t understand your situation. If a medication helps at the proper dosages, then it may help if it is increased. In your case it doesn’t work, so why would it at higher doses?
It helps a little. I’m thinking of quiting meds altogether
I will tell you that I was paying 400 dollars to a Psychiatrist. He had a combination, a very low dose of Clozapine and a very low dose of Risperdal. It worked like magic. But, I switched off the Clozapine and it didn’t work again.
