Dear Shaik, All your symptoms are symptoms of schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, there is dopamine deficiency. All the tablets that you have taken are to correct that deficiency. May be because of the tablets you don't have positive symptoms. Negative symptoms need to be treated with psychosocial methods. Unfortunately you may be having treatment resistant schizophrenia. How much clozapine for how long you have taken? Talk to your doctor on effective dose of clozapine and psychosocial rehabilitation help. If they were neuroleptic induced symptoms, they would have improved with SSRI, SNRI and Bupropion.
