Simba Cub Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The two most successful antipsychotics I've ever taken are Clozapine and Olanzapine. You can guess where I'm going with this. I recently pondered over augmenting one with the other to increase my chances with one problem - sedation. It's not quite like mixing one with Quetiapine, but you get the picture. Luckily Trifluoperazine has been fairly effective is useful as a booster, otherwise I'd really be up shit creek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't recommend it and I'd be surprised if most prescribers were comfortable with it either. It considerably increases the risk of certain side effects like sedation and more importantly, respiratory depression, metabolic side effects like weight gain, elevated blood glucose levels/Type II DM, dyslipidemia, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
