Controlling intrusive thoughts
Previously I have written to practo group ,that I was suffering from schizophernea and were taking different medicines at different times including amisulpride tablets,ifeel better but due to excessive weight gain and on request of practo group and my own doctor,I change my medicine to aripiprazole 5 mg tablets they also told that it has no weight gain and sexual side effects of course it is true, but
while taking it slowly after about a week, I develop intrusive thoughts.kindly suggest me a medicine for schizophernea that has no such side effects or if I continue aripiprazole 5mg then tell me some other medicine that can controll intrusive thoughts.

It is not useful to take opinions so soon from different psychiatrist.
The best strategy is to revisit your own psychiatrists and consult with the same doctor and tell about the concerning issues
You cannot keep on changing your doctors as it is not good for your mental health
Next Steps
consult your own psychiatrist
