How do you experience this breathing while you are sleeping? Is it causing you to wake up?

not to mind your business too much, but...are you on additional drugs, OTC and/or Rx? drug-drug interactions can cause all kinds of problems, and...just from my limited experience...psychiatrists are the worst when it comes to taking those into account.

me again. the injection versions of the tranquilizers often=higher blood levels. antidepressants tend to boost tranquilizer blood levels. other than that...

i had similar problems on seroquel. i asked about the other drugs because part of the problem in my case was the other stuff also being prescribed...

if you cannot talk to your psych doctor, can you get help from a family doctor? especially with a long acting injection, I would hope a doctor (maybe not the psych) would do something to help you.
