I'm sorry it is not working for you, but I did mention several other treatments, and I still cannot fathom why you are not mentioning your doctor or any AIMS level exams when you started it and now. You'll never know, even if it dropped your AIMS score 5 points, because it hasn't been done.I can't speak any more about options, there are other options, such as tetrabenazine, depending on where you live, I don't know if it is approved EU wide or just Great Britain. There's also high doses of buspirone (BuSpar), high doses of Vitamin E (1600 IU -- ONLY WITH YOUR DOCTOR, you could have internal bleeding otherwise)
Each one of these requires doing AIMS testing and then doing it down the line, and I can't imagine any doctor not doing AIMS testing. Its a generally practiced protocol related to all neuroleptics and it only takes a few minutes in your doctors office and no pain, just observation and instructions. I dunno, I mean I'm sort of exasperated about this, but I feel for you too greatly.
There is not much I can say, but I would like to hear that you have a doctor and he is monitoring and doing the above.I'm sorry it isn't working to your satisfaction but some of those things have to be met too.
