Relapse of schizophrenia
My mother has schizophrenia and she was on treatment with antipsychotics for last 5 years..... psychiatrist stopped the medications for last months and now her symptoms relapsed with severity since few days....we consulted him again and he started clozapine few days back but there was no response....So he changed to olanzapine 2 days back but still there is no improvement....Please tell me what to do
A relapse is often harder to treat than an episode. What meds was your mother on before? That may work again at a higher dose with some additional cover. Whatever meds are started, it will take 3 to 4 weeks for them to start working. Please be patient. She will get better.
