Meds are not helping me. Im pretty despondant as clozapine is not working for me. Is there any benefit to cbt…how do you know what to say when implementing cbt
When you say meds aren’t helping, what do you mean.
That is to say, cbt is probably just a ‘nice to have’ once you’ve stabilised on meds.

CBT can help with depression, anxiety, negative symptoms (getting out and doing things you enjoy doing), etc. and dealing with voices if you still hear them.
CBT is a process that the therapist leads you through. We have a series of videos I’d recommend here:

Im currently on 600mg of clozapine with 400mg of Seroquel. The clozapine is a high enough dose. The therapeutic level for clozapine to be effective is in the range 300 to 450mg. Im getting frustrated as Im pretty high up although 900mg is th ehighest dose but that is rare. Nobody in my psych hospital is on 900.
