Wow. That says a lot about the severity and chronicity of your illness. It might be helpful to know what are the symptoms that are still most prominent or urgent to be treated.
An ex-girlfriend of mine has schizoaffective disorder, bipolar-type. She began to improve and remained out of the hospital once Navane (thiothizine) was introduced. She was able to discontinue Abilify and Seroquel. It was her good fortune that her doctor wanted to see how adding Saphris (asenapine). This drug reduced depression, gave her more mental and physical energy, and produced cognitive clarity. She has been on Navane for over 5 years. There are no signs of abnormal movements. Of course, tardive dyskinisia doesn't appear right away.
She has lost 30-40 pounds since making these changes.
