In reply to Paranoid schizophrenia. what is a good med?, posted by vicksnow on March 12, 2009, at 8:23:45
> my boyfriend has severe paranoid schiz. he hears things and see things and has anger issues. what would be effective for this. he was on zyprexa but it did not work. he was now put on prolixin.anyone else have any success with any other meds for severe paranoid schiz?
hi, welcome. i'm not aware of any research as to hwat the best antipsychotic is for specific subtypes of schizophrenia...it sounds like he's tried a few and had no luck...clozapine is considered the strongest, and olanzapine might be the second best, for positive symptoms, though they both have more side effects too. the only unique feature i know of paranoid type is high markers of inflammation.
hopefully someone with some more personal experience will have something to say.
