Had an appointment with my psychiatrist today. The med (haloperidol) I’m on isn’t really working and hasn’t for the past couple months, it’s just gradually getting worse and worse. Can’t go on clozapine as I’m too overweight (i am very overweight we’re talking 170kg , not like a couple stone overweight). He doesn’t see the point in trying another anti psychotic as he thinks that if three haven’t worked then the others won’t either. So yeah.
He has however referred me to occupational therapy and a cpn. So hopefully that should help.
I’m just so fucking frustrated. If he hadn’t put me on quetiapine beginning of last year I wouldn’t have gained 50kg. And I’d be in a better place to try meds.
I need to start going to the gym again and control my diet (at the moment it’s okay as I’m staying at my dads but when I go back home i feel like I’ll go back to eating 12 packs of crisps a day). I need to listen to my psychologist too, I try but I’m not very good at that sort of thing. Hopefully the cpn will help a bit.
I’m just so frustrated. The psychosis is really bad at the moment.
