I told her that I more than anyone definately knows how she feels but that this was a non negotiable issue, she needs to be on meds. If I am missing something, please let me know.
James here....
Correct. Schizophrenia never goes away. It is also common the do OK for a while after stopping meds. The danger is that a relapse can be a big deal and cause her great harm. I'm glad she has a friend like you for support !
Meds...One doubt someone else will post some options here, I am not up to date with the newer anti psychotics. Keep in mind that sometimes the insurance will only pay for a specific one.
