I had written a lot and the forum ate my post

. Anyways, to summarize, a few months ago I had a psychotic and severe depressive episode, I went to an intensive outpatient program and I had intensive therapy and visits to a psychiatrist, had a med adjustment and I felt really good. For about a month and a half. Bad things are happening around me and I’ve started to experience something weird, like things are watching me and that causes me a lot of anxiety, on top of the anxiety I have for the issues my family and friend are going through.
I’m on aripiprazole 20 mg, risperidone 3mg and quetiapine 50 mg but as a sleeping aid, although it should also work as an antipsychotic. I have tried most antipsychotics on the market, even haldol. The one I hated the most was olanzapine, because although it was effective it made me gain 12 kls in 2 months and It took me a year to lose them. Also it made me really dull and clumsy, and it gave me horrible restless leg syndrome. I’ve also tried the ones mentioned and also amisulpride, so that makes 6 antipsychotics.
I’m scared I might have treatment resistant psychosis, and that I’ll have to take clozapine or even worse ect!!
Does anyone have experience with this type of problem? And what was your solution?
