Hey all. I have been very depressed lately (suicidal) and so they have re-put me on olanzapine. I hope my tardive dyskinesia doesn't come back :( My Pdoc said its only going to be a temporary thing though (atleast I hope).
I had a choice of going on either a Phenothiazine or an Atypical. He suggested I go on the Phenothiazine. The two Phenothiazines that he wanted me to try were thioridazine or chlorpromazine. I think chlorpromazine is a horrible drug (for me anyway)! Makes me so sick, so I chose the olanzapine.
My Valproate levels came back on the high side of normal which is good, but my dr's always find it odd because I am only on 1000mg of it and I am a tall person.
He also increased my clomipramine.
So now I am on 200mg of clomipramine, 1000mg of valproate, 10mg of diazapam and 5mg of olanzapine.
I just hope It works :(
Take care all
Chris.
