My son was tried on many APs, some worked for a while, some caused agitation, some caused significant weight gain.
He has been on clozapine for a few years now, and it is resulted in significant improvement in his daily life. He is able to again do some things he used to enjoy, have a pet, and participate in social interactions.
He has had zero problems with it. He does stay in bed a lot, but I think that is a negative symptom of his illness.
Since you are searching for alternative options, you should contact Dr.K.S. Gopi, a homeopathic and see if you get results from him. My daughter received the very best results from his selection of a homeopathic remedy. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-ks-gopi-7445291b/
His cost is $75 and you can send him the fee through xoom.com. I canāt say enough good words about the results my daughter now has. She isnāt behaving in a SZ way any longer and is working for the first time in 5 years. Just be sure to buy NuAge brand or Boiron brand, stay away from Hylands as that is like taking nothing
Could you consider a DNA test (simple mouth swab) to determine what medication your daughter is or isnāt absorbing, the results, re her genes, will make suggestions on AP meds her body would best tolerate.
Kindest thoughts.
Maybe add sarcosine by brainvitaminz.com, that helped my daughter so much and she hated the meds too and never would be on them willingly. We tried a lot of different things to help her and that one always worked. Now it is only homeopathics by Dr. K.S. Gopi and she is working. It has been a long 5 year journey to this point though
@Kelly thank you. Iāve been researching the you know what out of all this and am feeling like she does not have schizophrenia. Her symptoms for more of a ādepersonalizationā which is a dissociative disorder. Things just arenāt adding up. I havenāt spoken to her psychiatrist about this yet, but after researching a bit more am seriously considering it. And yes, Dr. Kopi, is next on the list.
@Kelly, sorry was going to include this little tid bit. Sacrosine had been AMAZING! 2nd most improving thing weāve used, really first because of how quickly weāve seen improvement. Tuesday afternoon was 1st dose, sheās taking 1g, today weāre going to try 1.5g and see. Anyway, her mood swings from the AP episode has now, since sacrosine is almost nothing. Not to say sheās still not swinging, but her dips are not anywhere near as frequent or as intense. The last four days have been wonderful. That said, she still not really recognizing or acknowledging me as āMomā, Iām random people flying through her head- family, friends, ex-teachers etc. Same for her sisters. But, sheās been soooo much easier to deal with on the sacrosine. Next up is magnesium L threonate. Iāve read some pretty impressive things about that. Thank youā¦
I tried. None of her medical team will write orders for it.
Did Dr. Gopi help you yet? I am su happy that things are easier now. Itās a breath of fresh air when something shows promise. 
Hey @Happee
Hope all is well
Just wanted to check up on you
Howās B doing?
Were you able to try that magnesium supplement at all?
