You seem to be taking a lot of medications, some of which donât really stick to the diagnosis of depression. Would you be comfortable elaborating about your symptoms? Going through neet exams is a very tiring and stressful situation, and I understand that its important that you are alert and awake during this period. Let me know a bit more about your symptoms and diagnosis, and maybe I can help.

Dear lybrate-user,
with clozapine 600 mg alone, if you were good, your psychiatrist would not have added amisulpride. Please talk to your psychiatrist and the family member who accompanies you, about how good you were with clozapine 600 mg. By the way, amisulpride must be 100 mg - not 10 mg as you have mentioned.

Amisulpride is not a medication for depression. It is prescribed for psychosis. Most likely, you are having depressive symptoms as prodromal symptoms before another psychotic break. Consult your psychiatrist for evaluation and further management. Don't change dosage or switch to other medications without consultation.

Amisulpride, clozapine and certain newer antipsychotics on a particular dosage can act on negative symptoms, which varies between every individual.

Unfortunately, therapy cannot be hastened in any manner but it is possible to bring about some functionality to begin with and gradually you can develop good coping skills and recovery over time. You need to consult a psychiatrist for the medication part and follow some therapy along with it. Anyway, it is not good to try to temporarily stave off a condition like this, and some good lifestyle changes are required to heal you. You can contact me on mobile for the therapy.

Schizophrenia is a very complex and difficult disease to treat, even with medication. All psychotropic medicines have side-effects: that is inescapable. But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counseling or therapy to improve cognitive skills. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping mechanisms and techniques to remain functional and lead a close-to-normal life. You will also learn about emotions and how they can impact your condit...more
