I was doing pretty well on 12.5 mg Saphris, but I developed TD and was switched to clozapine. It didn’t work at all, but I stayed on a low dose because my white blood cell count steadily decreased. It went from 4,000 to 2,000, so I am back on Saphris, but only on 5mg. It isn’t doing anything. I started having major issues with a fear of being harmed and spied on, personal hygiene, sleep disturbances (though this may be a hypomanic phase), and lack of motivation. I have really freaked out a time or two, really lost touch with reality. I thought there was a sniper at the back of my house, and I was crawling around trying to stay away from the windows. I broke my glasses and terrified my dog and my husband.

The meds work for most of the positive symptoms. Hallucinating anyway. I stick with them. I still have paranoia and delusions but they aren’t as bad as they used to be.

Then there are the negatives. Just have to deal with those I am afraid.

My negatives got better on their own. I did nothing for them. Now I can enjoy some things, work etc. Even though it is hard some days.

I second @TomCat there has been an improvement in the positive symptoms but at the same time the negatives have gotten worse.

Mine help most of the time, but I still get breakthrough symptoms.

I didn’t answer the poll because I’m somewhere in the middle.

Meds took away 80% of my symptoms doing quite well now with exception of stress times when I get glitches.

My delusions are gone. Anxiety’s down. Depression is persistent. I just got started on Wellbutrin for the latter; hoping for a favorable outcome.

Mine muffled my voices substantially, but I can still hear them when it’s quiet.
