Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In paranoid schizophrenia, there is no need to give antidepressant D-veniz. If he is getting irritable day by day, in that case, better to increase the dose of sulpitac after psychiatrist consultation. Dose of sulpitac could be increase up to 1000 mg day and he is at very basic dose. Better to consult his psychiatrist as soon as possible before getting too late. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
