Hiya.

Considering its a 'common' problem, I would have expected more people to get em. I dont know anyone else ever who actually gets these, except me. lol

Regarding amisulpride, pretty much the same but more severe, like my muscles all clench and contract involuntarily, and shake around literally every second. On amisulpride I got about 2 hours sleep a night, and on risperidone and zuclopenthixol, i got the occucugolor crisis or whatever it is called. (where your eyes point up and being stuck with arched back, and mouth open.)

Does clozapine do this type of stuff? Because I know it has a lower risk of tardive dyskinesia. And It *may* be a possibility.

But i haven't got treatment-resistance schizophrenia, just antipsychotic intolerance, lol. But BNF says something about 2 or more Anti-ps to be ineffective or unable to tolerate.

but am not sure, whether you 'need' a schizophrenia diagnosis due to the risks, monitoring, etc etc. I read on the dr's screen under current and past problems - 'delusional disorder, unspecified psychosis, bipolar, moderate depressive episodes' which i have not been informed about some of em :/... Im sure its all just speculation as opposed to 'real' diagnosis, as im sure delusional disorder is an actual specified psychosis and depression comes part of the bipolar package.

Bah!
