Thanks! He's still on prozac, but has been off of the anti-psychotics (zyprexa and Geodon) since early January). He's convinced that a lot of his symptoms were aggravated by those meds, as much as they were helped. Seeing how he responded to the anti-psychotics, his mother and I tend to agree that they're a double-edged sword. They shut down the delusions, but, for the most part, they shut down much of the rest of his mind as well. Our hope is that we can stem off this episode before his confusion and anxiety grow into delusions. In short, we're hoping he can get out of this before he needs zyprexa or geodon.
