What Treatment Is Suggested For Schzophrenia?
y son, 42 yrs, has schzophrenia. He has been prescribed Mirtazapine 300mg, diazepem 5 mg, serequil XR and was on aAdvancer slow elease (I think ). as well his psychiatrist gives him scriptsss for valium which he takes from time to time. Drug induced pyschosis and he says he never gets a full nights sleep, just wants to zonk out for some hours. Then I hear him say he had morph tablet last week. A tablet apparently. Should I just contact his psychiatrist as I m not the patien and don t know how to help.

Hi,
Thanks for writing
Your son will benefit from a detailed session with his psychiatrist. The medicine regimen may be adjusted based on current symptoms, and he may also be helped with his habit of doing unprescribed drugs (morphine).
Hope that helps,
Dr A Rao
