milkman Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 someone on this site said that "clozapine is for pussies and saphris(asenapine) is like a hung horse". in other words they are saying that its better than clozapine and clozapine is meant to be the king of all antipsychotics! dont they say this about every new antipsychotic that comes out? one pharmacist said that when zyprexa first came out that they said that it was better than clozapine. even when invega came out they said it is a very powerful drug. i went on invega for a couple of months on the maximum dose for schizophrenia and it did nothing! newer doesnt always mean better?

netsavy006 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Even been on most atypicals and some typicals I still hold clozaril (cloazpine) as the best antipsychotic. It was the only one that treats my symptoms to the point where I don't have to keep changing the dose without causing problemsome side effects.

Velvet Elvis Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I find it hard to believe that anyone would say anything like that without being reminded by a moderator that all medication results are individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hell even my own opinion about my "go to" medication changes. I used to be gung ho on zyprexa, now it's giving me side effect city. My point: use what works for you while it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
