Thanks Med_Empowered. I find that the antipsychotics combined with clomipramine at a high dose work best for me. Most of my psychosis (except for paranoia) was gone on haloperidol at 5mg and 200mg of clomipramine.
Now I'm on the following:
200mg Clomipramine
1mg Respridal (still increasing this one> I think I need a higher dose)
1250 of Lithium (my levels are 8.5)
5-20mg of valium depending on how I feel.Im really trying to push hard and stop just staying at home doing nothing. Its so bloody hard for me to step outside because of the paranoia but Im doing it and GOD it is scary but again Im still doing it and going to University after a long break of many years. I'm halucinating (visual and voices) and I'm scared but I think things are getting better (i hope anyway).
One more thing I must say is that Litihium is the best drug for me for my depression. Only thing that has ever worked. Its so nice to not be depressed for once as Ive been depressed for so long and had many suicide attempts.
Thanks and take care
Chris :)
