@Blue_Bird I don't know how common 2 APs are but I'm on 2. I hate it but it's necessary. For me it is more that I don't seem to process clozapine well so my level gets high on a lower dose and we can't increase the dose if needed. So Seroquel is my 2nd one that can be adjusted if needed. My goal is to not need any more Seroquel increases but I know that's unlikely.

@Crazy Hitch Did you try hitting control Z to get your post back? It works sometimes.

@Blueberrybook Do you feel better after you finish your light sessions? I usually feel a little up for maybe 30 minutes but then I feel better for several hours which leads to feeling better overall. I've never had this work for me like it is the year. My BIL has severe depression and I wish I could get him a light for Christmas without seeming pushy. He's borrowed mine in the past and it helped so it's not like he doesn't know about the option.

@MuddyBoots I was thinking of you when I said access to clozaril would be easier. I remembered you posted about how hard it was for you with the pharmacy coordination. I was so fortunate that my pharmacy messed up and gave me a months' supply of clozaril even when I was on weekly labs. I'm not sure I would have been able to stay on it if I'd had to fight with them every week.
