Whats the best med for delusional thoughts

I know ppl say clozapine but it doesn’t fully work for me
Would some med added to clozapine work better

Maybe you need to do something like “CBT for psychosis”

You probably didn’t want to hear this. But recognizing the signs and symptoms. Are better than just meds.

Zyprexa did the trick for me, but it was also in combination with working with myself. Avoiding thinking delusional what I could help it anyways. Convincing myself that being delusional was wasting my life.

My psychiatrist told me delusions don’t always respond to medications as well as they do to hallucinations and other symptoms. They are a lot more difficult to treat because it is also a matter of working on reframing beliefs. Meds alone are not going to be a cure all

Therapy (especially CBT) would be a better start.

You need to have a frank and open discussion with the consultant you’re seeing. Tell him/her what’s up and what you feel will help and also be open to what they as a specialist believe will help you.
