How were your periods of switching medications?
Sometimes better then things get a lot worse as the levels increase. So ended up back on what I currently am on more then once which is risperidone and fluvoxamine.
the first dose of haldol was mixed with depixol and i felt ok as it was a test dose but the higher the dose of haldol went, the less cleaning i did, until i did nothing but lay in bed all day every day. i’m just tapering off of it now and will go back on depixol next month until i see my shrink in october. then i’m going to ask for abilify and gabapentin to see what that does. i don’t regret trying the haldol but it seems i’ve lost about four months of my life by laying in bed. i won’t b going back on it that’s for sure.
When I was on haldol I was totally demoralized. I laid in bed all day too. The years I was on that drug were the worst years of my life. I’m not sure I could face it if they tried to put me back on it. I might choose to live on the street and be psychotic.
I either got better or worse. Once the pdoc switched my meds drastically from Clozapine to Risperdal and I landed up in hospital in a major crisis because the chemical switch messed with my head. Last switch I had was from Haloperidol to Amisulpride, and it went better, because the haloperidol didn’t work for me.
