My father has had schizphrenia for a longtime and was treated with an injectable medication for the past ten years which caused severe TD. It has been a year since he has been on the injections and has shown slight improvement in the negative symptoms of the illness. He has tried the risperdone but wasn't compliant and now is taking the zyprexa. It has been less than a week and he is showing improvement in the negative symptoms for the first time in over twenty years. : ) I just hope all keeps going well!
I know it is too early to judge the total outcome, but will keep you posted of how he does if anyone is interested.
