Currently in an outpatient program and the other day I was telling my doctor about a really bad episode I had experienced. In the past year I have tried many antipsychotics, 1st and 2nd gen, and haven’t found anything to stop the paranoia and hallucinations. He said the only way I’ll get better is through one of the shock therapies since I haven’t responded well to multiple antipsychotics. At what point does one result to shock therapy? I really don’t want to do it. I was inpatient awhile back and my roommate was going through it. It was traumatizing for him and I watched his depression get worse and worse. Also I’ve been on 4mg of risperdal twice a day for about 4 months now and have still been experiencing psychotic episodes. Is it worth trying something else or should I just learn to accept they will never go away
