How Can Schizophrenia Be Treated?
My husband was diagnosed with paranoid, schizophrenia years ago. He is being medicated with 50mg/ day of prolixin, 300mg wellbutrin/ day, 30mg Zyprexa/ day, 4mg congentin/ day...In additon he is taking 50 mg of atenolol/ day and 75mcg/ day. I think he s being over medicated. His memory is fading and he is not sleeping well at night. he has mood swings consistently but not violent. His comprehension is totally out of wack. what do you suggest
