Jeroen I'm sorry but last you were on clozapine in the hospital so sounds like this is a new combo. Give it some time. Easy to say and hard to do. Phillipa

Jeroen, I hate to say this but I have a complex disorder and I'm on 9 medications and I'm still depressed.. it doesn't just come from a pill, one can't just wait around -- they're tools to help you feel better, but they're not the end all to making yourself feel better inside by hard work.

As for the above --- I really can't say enough as far as efficacy -- antipsychotics may take a certain psychosis edge off in a few weeks but they like all other medications can take months to show work and in the meantime the mind should be preoccupied on other tasks to excercise it and not concentrate on medication

-- feel better

Thank you Jeroen -- we all wish for cures, but definately much better would be a substitute.
