My sons psychotic symptoms were physical as well as mental. Assuming rigid postures, making strange faces, walking backwards, awkward gestures etc. After he had his first panic attack he picked up a tic where he put his hand up near his mouth and acted as if he was choking. After 3 weeks on 20mg zyprexa (up from 10mg) and 100 mg Zoloft (up from 50 mg) It has all disappeared except for an occasional 2-3 second breakthrough. I wondered if Artane is necessary as well as safe for continued treatment which he will need. We also were getting ready to go through a Neuro exam for him but his Psy Dr. postponed it because of his great improvement on the medications.
