I am having ill thoughts toward myself. I’m not very strong anymore.

Yeah the drooling when sleeping sucks, but ask your doctor about prescribing eye drops. You put them on your tongue

I take Clozaril too, and i have the same issue as mentioned above by @GrayBear - hypersalivation. It generally only affects me at night, though, during the day you aren’t drooling everywhere or anything like that. But you do tend to pool saliva in your mouth when you’re trying to sleep, and from there it can seep out of your mouth on to the pillow. Very annoying. I think i might ask if there is something i can take to help with this. Other than the excess saliva, the medication has been working very well for me. I haven’t had a bad episode in about 2 weeks now.

It’s because of my delusions. I’ve never tried Invega, Vrayler, Zyprexa, and I don’t remember exactly what Abilify and Seroquel do to me.

I came off clozaril after being on it for about 6 years. Hit me like a hammer with withdrawal symptoms, it was the worst.

I was offered it too, but the problem is if I want to go abroad for longer periods it makes it impossible.

Would hypnosis work?

My only experience with hypnosis is in college. A hypnotist got people to dance and do funny stuff as a part of freshman orientation. Some people have encouraged hypnotism though here. I don’t think it’s for me.
