I'm not saying that this would or would not be an option for you but placing expectations on every chemical, especially in the short run is not going to benefit you.
You have to give the medications a chance to work... they don't work overnight, antipsychotics can take up to 3 months to show significant improvement, and at least a month to show some good signs.I know you've been struggling with this for a long time, I'm not negating that.

The first signs "kick in".... the brain is not a solid object, Jeroen... that's why I seriously wonder the repeat of medications, because it DOES take time for things to really show improvement and you'll never see it if they're dropped after two weeks.
This I do know.

> :|Then by process of elimination...your answer would not to be found in the antipsychotic class of drugs. It would not be the end of the road, but rather, a fork in the road with a brand new highway to explore that does not have the name Antipsychotic Boulevard on it. It has seemed obvious for a long time your psychosis and depression are not the kind that will be helped with the antipsychotic class of drugs or mood stabilizers. I don't know why I am the only one that can see that, since it has been proven by process of total elimination of all contenders.
I want Seroquel to prove me wrong. But if it doesn't, the path is clearly not Antipsychotic Boulevard.
What would it be? Well, if one were to explore case studies on the web and pubmed of stories like yours, the Tricyclics deserve a look. In my own opinion, based on your reactions to antibiotics and antivirals, infectious disease needs to be on the agenda right up there with psychiatric symptoms. Not one or the other, not one more than the other, but both, as they probably are twins.
But that's just me and pure logic looking at the evidence placed on the table. What do I know.
