> Hi Lamadge a call to the pdoc is in order. As you say Schizophrenia is a hard disease to treat. And I know common meds for vertigo. But seriously could be the dose of the med. Do not let your friend go out alone please til this is straightened out for her safety. Thanks Phillipa
Phillipa:
Well i am willing to walk her to a doc for sure.. Id never push her to go anywhere, at least not alone. I am pushing her to agree to go try treatments for her vertigo.
She tried about 10 different antipsychotics.. all of which were not enough to treat her schizophrenia and i think she is too anxious that her psychosis might come back to try other meds. Yes FOR SURE IT IS THE MED / THE DOSE OF THE MED.
But when you know what she has been through with her last psychosis (very very severe and didnt get treatment for 2 month, she simply refused, didnt even know anymore what a doctor is), youll understand that she is happy she doesnt have any psychotic symptoms anymore with clozapine and very anxious it might come back.
Also she would have to go back to the hospital to try other meds, thats what her pdoc (she goes to hospital once a week) told her about the issue. They are willing to try other meds but they say she needs to go back into hospital for that and although i hate these doctors (i know them), i agree with them on that issue.The problem with that pdoc is that she told my friend that there isnt any treatment for her vertigo and i simply didnt want to believe that. I googled "vertigo drugs" and saw that there IS treatment for this that she might want to try with a doc. Maybe shell need to go to another physician because that one (i know her) is very self sufficient and ... stupid, i hate that doc. She simply would have had to turn on google and find out about vertigo treatment. But that doc "knows everything".......
