what advice would you give

To try the DNA test, you might have a problem with absorbing medicine in your brain like me. Only certain ones will maybe work for me.

Study beyond physical cures because what you see isn't physical

 

[LORD BURT]

3 meals a day, a book before bedtime, sleep at night, a walk in the park and sugar on sundays

From a guy who was treatment resistive and that clozapine worked but nearly killed me.
I would say never give up.
The amount of combinations are like getting a tailor made suit. It can take a very long time to get the right fit.

I have been on an encyclopedia of head meds and was at the end of my patience/willingness to carry on.
Then by chance a drug seems to be working well.
I returned to work and have a happy life.
Yes I do still relapse but it is small dips compared to the roller-coaster that I used to ride.
Hang in there. The right treatment could be right around the corner
