Can someone explain to me why i, for about 2 month now, just need 1.25mg olanzapine, and in extreme(!) cases when i'm super paranoid, 2.5-5mg are needed but that has just happened for about a week 4 weeks ago!
My Methadone-doctor/pdoc says that methadone itself are very antipsychotic and that means that i just need a very small dose of a dopamine antagonist.
I think he's right, but what do you think?
There are many studies that comes to the conclusion for the same thing, and they have found that schizophrenic patients are very helped from heroin and morphine and therefore so many people are using it for self medication.
I am one of them, but i don't have schizophrenia, just a lot of psychosis but for the most part i have extreme paranoia and somatic paranoia (if you know what i mean, i have for about 6 years been listening to my heart 5-6 hours a day, which have become a big problem for me as i can't work or do stuff that i want to.).
But, opioids have always made me come "down to earth" again and start to think rationally!
And one more question!:
Have someone here tried iloperidone? and in that case, did you have and EPS?
With methadone i can finally tolerate antipsychotics cause it takes away the eps for most of the time! :-D
ps. Lamortigine works very well and i am so damn happy with my regimen!!
Methadone 90mg, A fairly low dose compared to the "normal" that is 130-150. But i have 90 because i want to be able to have it for the rest of my life and that isn't possible if i go over 100, cause then the qt-interval and hormone changes comes.
1.25-2.5mg olanzapine. Great, finally i can take it!! I know that some of you have heard me talk about antipsychotics for years but haven't dared to take it, so i say finally!
lamotrigine, the dose that we're aiming for is 250-300!
