I did well on higher doses of clozapine and since they lowered it because of risk of fits I’ve never been quite the same I hate clozapine but stuck with it now

Shelly I agree with you in the fact that Clozapine works like magic at higher doses.
Yes. It can be a problem when the meds don’t take care of the positive symptoms to a good enough extent.
I had to face the fact that the Ziprasidone didn’t do me well so in a timespan of two years I withdrawal from them with the result that I had a very bad sleep in that period.
Sometimes our health forces us to lower meds this I realized 14. Days ago when I was forced to lower my qutiapine from 800 mgs to 600 mgs because I got the symptom of a stuffy nose.
Because of the big problems there is involved in withdrawing from meds I have decided to stay at my meds at the current dose.

Well I been lowering my meds and stopping them over the last 2 years every time something is lowered or quit my symptoms get better . it started with double vision horrible coordination weakness trouble walking like my brain forgot how to walk. Well last night I said lets see what happens if I lessen the seroquel even more . I slept like crap but when I got up instantly I could walk without much trouble . I am going to star lowering it even more . Pills are poison and doctors and big pharma are trying to kill us all . My suggestion try to get to the lowest dose as possible even quit all your meds . I am going to ask for a lower dose I would like to quit but I tried that and my panic attacks came back so ill just see how goes .

Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.

Thanks,
