Hi


I admire you for positive outlook.

If he is diagnosed catatonic schiophrenia then need to treat with Typical anti psychotic drug.

Tab risperidone and tab lorazepam has good role in catatonic schizophrenia.

tab oleanz has also good role in such patients.

But need to increase the dose if no improvement.

This medicines have few side effect but not serious.

It can be tolerable and avoided with add on other medicine like trihexyphenydyl.


ECT means electro convulsive therapy is also best therapy to treat catatonic schizophrenia.


Do advise from your psychiatrist and get well soon
Thank you.

Take care.
