No snapping my wrists with rubber bands to make sure I'm not dreaming. No hallucinating my family being home when they're not. No fear of reflections.... you get the idea.

I understand completely. I had to cut my clozaril dose in half this year because my levels were toxic and that's why we added the Seroquel, just to get a little boost and (mostly) to help me sleep. But the combination of APs has done something no other med alone or in pairs has done. But even the 50 mg is causing problems. I'm going to try the gabapentin reduction if that's what she decides knowing that I can use what I taking as a PRN (I assume, gotta clear that with her).
I wish there were one magic pill that covered all APs, ADs, mood stabilizers and anxiety. It would be a pretty color too instead of my dull meds.
