I contacted the Boehringer laboratory and they emailed me some contacts from recruitment centers for people to participate in clinical trials. I will wait until Monday to contact one of the 4 doctors. If I’m lucky I’ll tell you about the experience.
By the way, did any of you ever have it in mind to search Google for centers to participate in clinical studies?
We should put more testimonials of new drugs.
If I understand you. The thing is that current antipsychotics are very intolerable to me. I see it as positive to make an attempt and try something different.
What you say makes sense. What happens is that I am so desperate from suicidal thoughts and sedation that I want to look for something temporary that is different.
Ask the doctor for citalipram, it’s an antidepressant that’s works wonders for me. It works differently to other antidepressants I’ve been on. It’s an ssri but I find it’s the only one that helped me.
Thank you. I have already tried many antidepressants and none of them helped me counteract what the antipsychotic causes in me. That’s why I don’t see any other alternative. I asked my psychiatrist about Modafinil and he told me that it is contraindicated in schizophrenics because it is a dopamine agonist.
That is to say that everything that gives energy is contraindicated and what I have to take takes away that energy, I can’t live like this.
But do you also have suicidal thoughts every day? I could never stay more than 4 months at a time on an antipsychotic, so imagine how intolerable they are for me. I am also aware that this does not happen in all cases.
No I didnt have suicidal thoughts. But citalipram chills me out and calms me down. It stopped stress. Well I had slight suicidal thoughts but I quit down on caffeine, like 1 coffee or 2 in the morning. Instant black coffee not strong brew coffee, that helped too.
Have you tried citalipram?
You said you tried many antidepressants, but what about citalipram? It will also help you sleep if your having trouble sleeping.
I have them all the time, besides feeling stupid and cold with feelings. The weight gain is indefinite and Saxenda did not work to prevent it. I don’t know how to describe it to you, in my case I have suicidal thoughts at all times of the day.
