hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder and in that patients need longer treatment may be life long. Number of antipsychotics are available in market, but response with particular antipsychotic vary from patient to patient. If she is not getting response from serenace, in that case i will suggest first try risperidone. If unfortunately she doenot get response with this, then try Clozapine. Rest discuss with treating psychiatrist.
