Close Schizophrenia

I have battled with mental illness for 10 years, degenerating from depression to bipolar to schizoaffective disorder. I am on disability and struggle to know whehter I am telepathic or just delusional. Life is about reality checks for me. Those are my biggest goals for the next 10 years..

Treatments

Abilify Somewhat Helpful

Clozaril Working / Worked

Took hundreds of voices to 6 or so. Pretty effective. Current regimen.

Pets Working / Worked

I want one bad!!

Prolixin Working / Worked

Worked pretty well.

Risperdal Not Working

Made my visions more pronounced!!!

Seroquel Working / Worked

Couldn't read or focus. Took it for years.

Trilafon Working / Worked

Made my hands involuntarily contract. Nightmare (Again worried that I was unmarriagable)

Zyprexa Working / Worked

Gained 50 pounds each time I took it -- Made the rest of my life miserable -- Wonder of my worthiness to the opposite sex, etc. Horrible self-image ( I didn't even look in the mirror for three months) I lost 20 pounds playing in the ocean 2 days in a row for 2 hours. That's my plan for this summer as well.
