Yep, the switch in meds was necessary because he began to experience growing belligerence and some psychotic breaks. For right now his schizophrenia seems under control. He is complaining of anxiety though. For most of the years since he was 15 he has been taking Zoloft 75 mg but he has been cut back to 50 mg. I am wondering if we need to increase that? This is hi once a day formula:
1 3mg tablet invega
1/2 of a 100 mg Zoloft tab
1/2 of a 5 mg Zyprexa tabThe Zyprexa seems to still help him sleep, even if the AP effectivity is blunted.
He was taking 20 mg Zyprexa after his first major episode. It was cut back to 10 mg after 1 1/2 years and stayed at 10 mg ZY. until the Risperdal switch 4 months ago
