Did you try a higher dose, or just get too many SE? 400mg may simply be too little and a higher dose work. Did it have some effect or what symptoms remain. Best of luck.

I am sure others here could come up with some brilliant med suggestions and combinations. I could probably do the same and even back them up with numerous specific case studies and clinical studies for you to read if not yet convinced.

But none of that would make any difference, since you are in a hospital and the control of your meds is out of your hands. The fastest road to healing is going to be in getting some control of your own treatment back. In my opinion.

That being said, if it were me, and I'm not suggesting you do it, I would start putting on a fake acting job that I am well enough to leave the hospital. Once out of the hospital, the first goal, then the second goal is to seek help outside the hospital on new innovative med approaches. For example, following your posts for months now, I am fairly convinced it will take a combination of meds of different classes, not just antipsychotics, to get you feeling better and to stomp out both the psychosis and depression. Seroquel could well be one of the meds in the mix. It worked at one time, and maybe it just needs the right partner to make it work again.

If that isn't possible or won't work for you, I can at least pray for the doctors in your care. I am not impressed with their talent up to this point. Rather lacking in creativity and honest care in what they are doing. At least from my outsiders point of view. I could be way wrong. It may actually be a totally different story. I can only go by what you say in your posts. For anyone to think that antipsychotics, and only antipsychotics, can treat psychosis is ridiculous.

The comment on it being ridiculous is my opinion and wording only, not intended to offend anyone in any way. The comment on antipsychotics not being the only meds to treat psychosis is based on more studies I've seen at pubmed than I can count.

Whatever. At this point in time you have no control over med choices, so it seems kind of pointless to wonder what to do next until you've arrived at a place where you have some control. That will involve swaying the doctors to get creative or getting out of the hospital, and in both cases, looking outside the limited world of antipsychotics.

Jereon what are you taking sulpiride as - an antipsychotic or antidepressant? As an antidepressant the theraputic range is 50mg - 200mg and AP sulpiride is 200mg - 800mg going up to 3200mg but the risk of extrapyramidal side effects increases greatly.

I take low-dose sulpiride - 50mg for depression and social anxiety and it works pretty well in conjuction with other stuff in my combo. But you can't go over 150-200mg for the AD effect.
