Does it help for you to know that your brain's hardware is intact enough for you to respond to treatment? You might not be responding satisfactorily to your present drug regime, but I feel optimistic that you will find one. In the meantime, I encourage you to continue reaching out to others as you have done here. If you are a spiritual being, perhaps you can reach out to your higher power for love and the strength to persevere.
Do you experience anxiety during any phase of your illness? Is it considered bipolar-type? If so, is Xanax helpful during your manic phase? I see in other people with schizoaffective disorder that if you can prevent the mania, you interrupt the sequence in such a way as to promote mental health.
Hang in there.
I can't guarantee you immediate success, but I encourage you not to succumb to choosing permanent failure.
I'll pray for the both of us.
Take care of yourself, Lamdage.
