In the last 8 weeks he has been placed on and off Invega, seroquel, a shot of Haldol and is now on saphris. These work but when he is taken off or the dose is lowered he becomes more agitated and delusional. His current inpatient doc wants him to come off the antipsychotics as soon has he can, his outpatient wants him on. Both docs are highly qualified so I am confused! I guess only time will give the full picture
