Clozapine is regarded as the best anti-psychotic (AP) but it does very little for me, other than make me drool on the pillow at night, because it disrupts the swallowing reflex, and makes me choke on some kinds of food unless I wash it down with milk or other liquid.
Trimipramine (Surmontil) which I started taking for depression, is the most potent AP for me so far. After I started it, I've come to the insight that it is very important to avoid manic episodes. I have also gained some insight into why I've ended up in hospital repeatedly -- I'm not just a victim of circumstance or other people. Trimipramine has a receptor binding profile that resembles clozapine, so its more potent AP-like effects are a curious thing.
What are your notable side-effects?
