I saw my pdoc today and most of what I expected came true. I am tapering loxapine this week and will spend next week on a really low dose. Unless I have some effect on that low dose without EPS I'll stop at the end of next week.
Because we have to know what drug is causing this I can't change anything else yet. So I have at least 2 weeks, maybe longer, before we can do anything to help the heavy depression that hit a few days ago and keeps getting worse. I may wind up IP for the depression and to start something more rapidly but I can't go this week and don't think I am quite there. Close but not quite. I will try 1-2 more drugs and then it will be time to try clozaril. We've discussed getting close on that before and now that it's this close she explained all about how it would work and that I'd have to come off Seroquel to be on it. I just want to sleep.....

I've noticed stuff seems to get worse before it gets better. Hang in there, rainbow!

I'm so sorry lady. I know you are dreading the prospect of Clozaril. I hope you find something that will relieve your pain.
