Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression And Schizophrenia

yes doctor, my 25 yr. old just rushed to er for complications with saffron which he was just on for about 1 wk. before that he was on paxil, which done him ok as far as no adverse side effects except basically no motivation to do much anything at all. he diagnosed with depression, and schizophrenia. the er doc. wants me to consent to keep him and they will now switch him to Geodon. after I just read side effects of that, I am not happy camper at all, its like the worst of two bad drugs. I,m wanting him back on the paxil just maybe higher dose than the 20 mg he was taking.
