@Rosi700

I'm on 30mg of diazepam, scheduled. I don't abuse it. I'm so used to it that it doesn't really feel like it does anything except keep me from having anxiety and withdrawal. No high. Nothing. Seroquel feels better. Have you ever been on gabapentin? I take that too. It feels quite pleasant. ☺️ And it helped stop my clonazepam withdrawal when I had a POS psychiatrist take me off 4mg in two months. Propranolol is nice too. I also take that.

@HALLIEBETH87

I had an allergic reaction to clozaril. Massive fluid retention, edema in ankles, respiratory problems. The drooling at night was terrible. I had a drool towel! Lol. The lab work every week was a pain in the booty. Never again! Gained like fifty pounds in one month (though about half of that was water!). Still haven't lost the rest of the weight. Never again. If I was you I'd say fck it to clozaril and go back on haldol. I liked haldol. The only side effect I had from haldol was that I didn't have my period for seven years! I just had to go off it because it stopped working.

However, I had a very rare and strange reaction to clozaril. My psychiatrist at the time (who is now retired!) said he'd never seen anything like it, so... I'm probably just weird.
