hi...my sister is a schizophrenia patient..we came to know this 2 months back and after treatment she is now doing her normal duties. medicines she is taking are sulpitac, mirtaz, topicalm & lonazep since 2 months back..pls suggest if the treatment is ok and how long should she take the said medicines?
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor If she is symptoms free, then there is no need to change the treatment. In medicine, Sullivan and topical is antipsychotic and mortal is antidepressant. Usually there is no need to give antidepressant in schizophrenia, but few psychiatrists prescribed it for sedation to decrease dose of sleeping pills like located. She has to take medicine for years, rest depend upon her symptoms. Thanks
