Hi guys!,
I'm feeling a little blue today, because the OCD has been bad. At the same time this worsening has told me to get my fat ass (I'm actually skinny except for my Nardil belly!) into top gear. THIS IS THE DECISION...
1. Nardil + Zyprexa 2.5mg.
2. Discontinue Nardil then start Parnate (monotherapy).Now, I spoke to a friend today at uni who has a lot of psychotic friends. These guys have been on antipsychotics for years. And not always new ones. This one dude was on Haldol for 10 years - NO TD AT ALL. They (3 of them) have all been on them for ages, another guy 10 yrs on Risperdone.
So I'm thinking, while the heck don't I use Zyprexa at 2.5mg for 5 years?
But then again, there is still that risk.
This decision has to be made soon. Lithium, without little doubt, will be ceased tommorrow. 2 days later I will begin Clonidine, but for some reason I don't think it will do much. I'll give it 2-3 weeks and then, if it fails, move on.
ADVICE PLEASE! THIS OCD MUST GO.
Ace.
