My med combination seems to be working. I’m less anxious. I have no signs of mania. I am having a bit of depression but I haven’t been very good at using my SAD lamp. I can go out in public without freaking out. I say less stupid things. I do lose my words very often but I don’t think that’s the meds. I’m hoping things get better and better.
I’m taking:
450 mg clozapine
250 mg lamotrigine
300 mg lithium
10 mg amitryptiline

Considering for the last ten years my meds have been changed a lot due to having very med resistant sza, this is really good. My pdoc says sometimes clozapine takes up to a year to be at its best so I can even hope that the chattering in my head may quit. I don’t even know what it’s like to not have voices.

I’m on Clozapine. That gives me a little hope.

It’s the weirdest feeling when your head begins to clear. It gets quiet. Sometimes I hate it, but I remember how close I came to committing suicide because of the voices. More than once, mind you. Anyway, it feels barren sometimes, but then you realize that the chaos is no longer destroying you and that the quiet has granted you freedom.

300 mg lithium is next to nothing, are your blood levels above .6? If not, I’m unsure it’s doing anything for you. Please let me know how 300 mg makes sense, maybe I’m missing something
I’m upping my clozapine and slowly lowering my lithium. My lithium levels were high so it got lowered when I was at the hospital. Ultimately my pdoc wants me only on clozapine. It is supposed to do everything the other meds do. All I know is I feel better.
