Jeroen,
I'm sorry that I missed your post regarding Zyprexa, a drug that is known to trigger mania in a minority of people. I haven't researched whether the same is true of a schizoid disorder.
Take the advice of Yxibow. It is sound. Nobody here wants for you to take a drug that isn't right for you. I know it is hell for you to go through this clozapine trial. It is so easy for any of us to ask you to please continue with it. I guess some of us try to see things objectively from a bird's eye view from knowledge collected previously. People are trying to help you as much as they can because they want to see you healthy and happy, and not just surviving misery.
Do you ever get depressed? If so, can you describe the characteristics of your depression?
Have you ever been manic without psychosis?
If so, does mania precede psychosis?
If you are having trouble sleeping as you escalate into mania, you might need a sleep aid. This seems to help people with schizoaffective disorder.
Do your symptoms appear and disappear episodically?
- Scott
