my depot of Clopixol is due next week.
I asked psych to fax gp the new dose
so hopefully I'll get the higher dose next week
am on 600 Clopixol depo every 4 weeks and 20mg Clopixol tablets every day
so there is scope to increase still
I'm really trying to ignore the psychosis but some days it's easier to do that than others
I found some letters from Manchester's Specialist Service for Affective Disorders. I had an appt with them in 2006 and a follow up appt in 2007.
They recommended Clozapine if the other treatment recommendations didn't work.
The letters were never really paid attention to by the psych at the time. There was a lot of instability in services at the time with lots of locum psychs.
I've had my current psych for about 5/6 years I think. When I saw him on Thurs I told him about the letters and he asked me to leave copies of them at the reception at the cmht and he would read them.
I listen to music to help drown out voices and distract from paranoia.
Can't read or really watch too much tv as can't concentrate that well.
I get very anxious at the thought of reading a book or watching a tv prog.
I've been on Olanzapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone which weren't effective.
I really hope this higher dose of Clopixol will work
