I went to see my psychiatrist today. He was really sympathetic, and increased my Depixol to the maximum dose. This should start to help (if it does at all) within the next week. He thinks that, when the psychosis is under control, I should sleep much better too.
I was quite worried that he'd put me back on clozapine, another typical antypsychotic. It has really horrible side effects: dribbling, massive weight gain, slurred speech, extreme tiredness. I was on it for 5 years, and it made me want to die. It did help with the psychosis, but it also destroyed my confidence.
Well, I'll just have to wait and see.
