I've heard many people say that Seroquel is a good drug for them. They tried to put me on it when I was in the behavioral hospital, but I wouldn't take the pills. In fact, that is why I let the doc put me on injections b/c I was refusing to take any pills for my condition. Deep down somewhere I knew that I needed some kind of medication (antipsychotic), and I trusted my doctor. It sounds odd that a schizophrenic would TRUST a doctor, but I felt like he had the capability to help me. For some reason, the voices all agreed that it would be beneficial to get the injections, which was really me telling myself this would be the best thing for me, even though I might not have been crazy about the idea in the beginning. But I don't feel like I was giving up my freedom. In fact, today I feel more in control of myself than I ever did when I was really delusional. I was an absolute mess back then. Doing and saying all kinds of strange things, not taking a bath for a week, smoking cigarettes all the time, going through rituals, paranoia, you name it.
I agree with you. I don't know about the Clozaril really helping me. There's a possibility that it could, but I've doing fine on Risperdal. I'm glad you are doing okay on the Seroquel. Hang in there, and thanks for your feedback.Lao
