I am diagnosed undiff. schizo.. I don't think I had the ADD symptoms you mentioned but someone suggested trying dexedrine for my OCD since I cannot tolerate SSRI's. Valproic acid is often used with clozapine to minimize the risk of seizures. Tegretol and Lithium, (I think), are not mixed with clozapine because of the possibility of dangerous interactions. I thought that beta blockers might do the trick but the side effects might be troublesome. I read years ago that excessive use of kava kava causes liver problems and I don't want to mix psychotropic herbs with prescription meds. I also want to avoid anything that makes me feel zoned out, spacey, or weird. I see the shrink tomorrow and I thought I might ask for something for the agitation but I don't know if they are likely to prescribe stimulants.
