>Best drug for me so far. I have taken olanzapine which bought out too much OCD in me, to the point where I had to stand on things to releive the obsessions. Risperdal which made me just way spaced out (though I was taking 6mg which I beleive is high dose these days). Mellaril which didnt do much for psychosis. Stelazine ditto, chlorpromazine I have already mentioned. Flupethixol is just a good drug for me it releives my psychosis, makes me more interested and upbeat. I take 6mg, I try to go upto 9 but it means I cant sleep. My CPN thinks its bizarre Im her only patient who takes flupenthixol tablets but since I started it about 2 years as an extra with the olanzapine I have been so much better and even better when I stopped the olanzapine and took just it. Been working and thinking well not getting bogged down is delusions and paranoia. I am pretty hard to stick down to drugs (I often get paranoid and stop taking them) and again flupenthixol has been one I have been able to stick to and avoid that problem.
Regards, Bunny
ps: my reboxetine finally came through but thanks for the clue of nortripyline its been filed.
