Ugh. Don't give up. Isn't there an alternative? 

Sorry it is so difficult for you. I wish you well. 

Maelyn, what can we do to help? We got to get you headed in the right direction. What do you need?  

Thanks guys. Not much can be done for me. It's all the chemicals in my head being messed up. I'm working my coping skills. I've added in an extra pill of my anxiety medication and that has helped some. As for alternatives....the following is the list of medications I have been on to try and resolve the chemical imbalances in my brain: Haldol (haloperidol), Prolixin (fluphenazine), Trilafon (perphenazine), Stelazine (trifluoperazine), Abilify (aripiprazole), Fanapt (iloperidine), Latuda (lurasidone), Zyprexa (olanzapine), Invega (paliperidone), Seroquel (quetiapine),Respirdal (respiridone), Geodone (ziprasidone), and actually I'll stop there with the list. There are others that are related to stabilizing my mood, anxiety, and depression, but those listed deal strictly with the issue the Clozapine is to address the hallucinations, delusions, thought blocking, etc. I am seeing some improvement, even with the minor dose. I am not having as frequent bouts of not recognizing my own language.  

Prayers to you, Maelyn. May you find the answers you need. 

Yes, you are right about the chemical imbalance and the medications. Hang with it because eventually you will discover the thing that best works for you.
