In reply to anti-psychotics can induce psychosis...not often , posted by dragonfly25 on January 6, 2004, at 8:07:25
If you succeed in getting on to an AP. I would recommend Zyprexa first. Probably a lower dosage might be OK like 5 MG. It probably will slow you down right away. You will want to sleep and eat more but maybe not. Delusions, obsessions and paranoia will go away eventually but if you don't have a major MI like BP or Schiz. then be careful APs are for Psychotic symptoms (and if you have them they should be recognized and treated). Zoloft should work well for panic attack but sometimes it takes a sizeable amt like 75 to 100 mg to be successful. Give these at least 2-3 months because they can take that long before they become fully effective. Both of these meds can cause sleepiness at the outset, so if you drive, look out. I assume you would be getting these from a Psy Dr.. This combo works well a relative of mine but probably wouldn't be right for everyone.
Good Luck!
