I don't know what else is left that I can take. I haven't been on haldol but it has a higher risk of EPS so probably that's out. I think perphenazine is next on the list. After that I assume clozaril is creeping up on me. I'm allergic to risperdal so can't take invega but I'm going to ask if I can try since my allergy is not particularly dangerous. If she can get samples of i. Or if she can get samples of Latuda we've agreed that is worth another try but the drug rep didn't get back to her in the month she tried before I went on loxapine. When I was on it I was in a very bad place and didn't give it a very good try. Samples are tough b/c the hospital doesn't allow drug reps or samples unless it is for a specific patient in a case like mine where I'll go on patient assistance after we know it works but need to try it first before asking for thousands of dollars of meds.

I just hope that 20 mg holds me or that my pdoc can get me back to 30 without the side effects. Which are better already after just one night of lowered dose.
