In reply to Schizophrenia - just been diagnosed. Support?, posted by pretty_paints on February 14, 2006, at 12:03:24
My son has it. He's 18 was diagnosed at 15 and we
think it started at 13. His first "episode" took
about 6 months to recover from. He is taking 10mg
Zyprexa and 75 mg Zoloft. He has been back in High
School for 2 years and getting good grades.
Schizophrenia usually requires 2 medications and
in combination they work well. An anti-psychotic
to control paranoia,delusions,hallucinations and
an AD for Obsessive behavior,anxiety and depression
Once you find the right combination, your life
will be under control and much improved. Good
luck and feel free to post questions about the illness
or medications.
