I went on a bunch of APs but some didn't work, some had EPS issues, some I was allergic to and that left Seroquel which I eventually was taking 1500 mg of XR. That wasn't working so that left clozapine and while I've had occasional psychosis that was easily handled and some small mood episodes I've had nothing like what I used to live with all the time. It's totally worth the blood tests to not have constant mixed episodes, and I'm pretty happy with the lack of psychosis too.
Hmm. Thinking about this more and more. Pdoc has toyed with the idea...
