Hey all. Anyone recommend a typical antipsychotic or on a typical antipsychotic apart from Thorazine (been on it before) and Haloperidol (on it now). Been on all the atypicals except clozapine and im not taking clozapine so please dont suggest for me to do that. I'm just looking for somthing to help with my paranoia/psychosis .etc. Haloperidol works great (not for the paranoia though but for the halucinations and most of my delusions) but I cant stand the side effects.
Please dont suggest non antipsychotic drugs. My Pdoc is very much into using only drugs that have been proven to work for that particular problem (he works in research). He is a good doctor and I trust him but he wants me to stay on haloperidol and i cant stand it anymore.
Please if anyone could offer any advice as I want some releif. I appreciate the advice that has been given before but there is no way my pdoc is ever going to rx me methadone or morphine for psychosis (would that even help?)
I should note that I am on valium too and been on other benzo's, quite a lot of them. And they dont help. Even large doses of valium doesnt touch my paranoia/anxeity type thing that I have.
Xanax made me psychotic to the point of hospitalisation. Lexotan seropax and Ativan have been better but my pdoc wont let me use these long term, only the valium.
Oh well.Another note. Ive been on every antidepressant in Australia except Nardil and have been on all the Mood Stabalizers there are available in Australia and I'm currently on Lithium and Clomipramine.
Take care
Chris.
