> I've been sticking with Teva for atleast a year. So thats not it. I just had an ordeal with the pharmacy. Telling them the pills were weak. Then later calling and canceling the order for more. Seems like they are working better now. I don't get it. Is it posible for the doc to tell the pharmacy to put less medicine in a pill, and not tell the patient? This has been my fear for quite a while now. Ever since I heard on the news that docs can wright for a placibo. I just don't understand why I'm taking twice the dose I used to and only getting the same effect or less. What is going on here? But the thing is that some times the pills knock me out and other nothing at all I don't sleep. Plus I've been taking the new bottle of z for the last 3 weeks and not much effect, but then I take one of the older ones and it knocks me out for a day. Oddly enough though my voices are not bad at all. But anxiety is up, drinking more and just feeling bad. What is going on here?
My first reaction is to suggest taking the same amount of drug every day instead of varying the dosage. Allow your system to stabilize and acclimate to one dosage. Perhaps the side effects will mitigate. I know that with antidepressants, constantly "pulsing" the drug can lead to treatment resistance. This might not apply to antipsychotics, but I still favor the idea of establishing homeostasis.
I don't think there is an issue with consistency in the product or manipulation of your prescription by the pharmacist. Your illness might be "talking" a little bit here. I know you are confused. I would be, too.
