Anyone feeling slow on clozapine?
Feeling of sedation which is nice as it’s relaxing but I don’t get excited about things like my friends would
When I take very little dose I am able to talk, do and laugh no problem
Really frustrating it is as it’s a really good med I am super organized when at work so it does have benefits
I’m on haldol, but have the same problem. It sucks.
Is haldol an old anti psychotic ?
How do you find it
I wonder would latuda be good? Heard there is very little sedation with it
Haldol is an old AP. I really like it. I can’t do atypicals, so my options are limited.
I didn’t like latuda. It caused a lot of weight gain and didn’t really help my hallucinations.
I am intrigued why do you like the Haldol? There must be things that you like that it does?
That’s disappointing to hear about the latuda, I wonder should I just stick with clozapine? I mean the only really affects I get with it is dizziness and sedation and no emotion so similar to a zombie haha
I wonder could I get used to living with sedation like try to adjust to it?
I like it because I’ve tried about a dozen APs and haldol is the first to actually get rid of enough of my positive symptoms that I can function and stay out of the hospital. I needed to be in a higher dose than I could tolerate orally, so I’m on the once a month injection plus some orally every day. This way I don’t get sedated or too zombie like but still get the benefits because there are slightly less side effects with the injection.
I feel slow on 13.5mg risperidone…
I’ve felt slow on Seroquel.
I don’t get slow often, but when I do, I am not well. It may be the sza with mixed bipolar, ptsd, or anxiety with agoraphobia. I’ve had three separate series of ect, because of depression. The delusional things I think sometimes wake me up, and I realize that I am not well. Sometimes, it takes me a day or so to look back and know that I was delusional. Sometimes, it happens much later. Sometimes, probably not at all. I feel iq slow because of the meds. Am I helping? Thanks
