I answered this question as best as I could in your next thread. AFter doing some study on pubmed it became obvious that your condition is understudied, but that the meds that do work around the world provide you a small targeted toolbox to work with.

Antidepressants were used as monotherapy or in combination with antipsychotics.

Antidepressants were:
Luvox
Zoloft
Effexor
Imipramine
Amitriptyline

Antipsychotics:
Risperdal
Seroquel
Zyprexa

Of the SSRIs, Luvox seemed surprisingly effective, hypothetically due to its action at sigma receptors, which coincidentally zoloft does too.

ECT was viewed highly. I don't like that option, but it is an option.

From my own preference in combining both pharmaceutical and natural strategies in the war against disease, the one supplement I would seriously consider adding to whatever you do is Glycine. Long story, but there are just so many reports out there of this supplement helping schizophrenic patients of all kinds who are already on meds.
