Hey!, have you ever tried any meds? I have been on Risperdal and Seroquel. Also was in a PH for a few months. Hope you are doing well and fine!

Do you know the date when it was released? It is a Atypical Antipsychotic right?
I was thinking of asking about taking it. How well did it work and for what? Any suggestions? ????????????????????

No i don't know when it was released.
Yes it is an atypical. I would strongly reccommend it. It has worked fantastically, even on a small dose but best on the high dose that i am taking (800mg) The symptoms it has relieved for me are: - lack of pleasure - i enjoy things more now -lack of interest- i have a few interests now -trouble making conversation- i am more interested in people and life now -feeling blank - i always have something going on in my head -numbness in my body- this has been going away more and more with feeling returning - the world looks better and things sound better a lot more things but they are hard to describe. gold |

My son is schizophrenic, and has tried many meds, but none of them have worked  We are in Australia, is this med only in pill form or have they made depot injections for it yet ? do you know? They have just changed his meds but the new ones aren't working at all, and he has become very violent. We need help, but there is none.

I don't know. I take the pills but it would be worth asking. He doesn't like taking tablets right?

It's not that the son doesn't like taking tablets, but he can't be trusted not to ignore them for a week and then take a whole bottle when he feels bad again. That's what he does with the Olanzapine pills they give him for sleeping.

The schizo-son has just been admitted to the hospital  We tried & tried to tell them the new meds weren't working. It's hopeless  He'll escape, he always does, & then he'll come to get us !!

He has this crazy idea that we made him schizophrenic  and as he's a PARANOID schizophrenic, he can be quite violent to us, and anyone close to him.   He got out of hospital last Friday, but last night the cops & CAT team had to capture him, & he fought them He has been put in a High Dependancy Ward this time, whatever the heck that means. It's locked until Monday, they say sleep while we can !!!!!  OOO,  ,we steal golds thread !!!!
