It’s 11pm here and hubby is sleeping and I’m restless and mixed up f***ed up jumbled thoughts and alien tried to mess with me again. I tried to cut myself again.
My pdoc said this morning in an email that she thinks I could be under medicated and she increased my olanzapine to 7,5mg from today along with my usual 200mg amisulpride. I used to take 5mg olanzapine at night but now 2,5mg in morning as well.
Hope it will help me bcuz I feel like I’m in another crisis and on a speeding train with a one way ticket to hospital. And I don’t want to go there again - I just went in May this year.
A four week double blind randomised study of 319 schizophrenia sufferers compared amisulpride with 16 mg haloperidol daily and found the efficacy was best at 400mg to 800 mg daily (measured according to the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the PANSS) (Peuch et al).
So you’re on a sub theraputic dose of BOTH amisulpride AND Olanzapine.
