Any new develpoments on schizophrenia treatment ?


My 26 year old son has schizophrenia, and was diagnoised at the age of 19. since then he has been on many medications. some were too mild, others worked for a while , then were not as effective, anyone know of new treatment that we may try ? we have tried risperadal, zyprexia, geaodn, etc. he now gets a shot with prolixin, and takes by mouth, cloziril.

it is somewhat effective, but leaves him too doped up to funtion.

I have heard that abilify is not sedating and does not add weight gain.

my questions is does anyone know of any other treatment that may be new , or of a good reference site for new information ?

Prolixin and clozaril are pretty old school treatments, it is no wonder that you are seeing significant side effects.

Have you yet tried Seroquel, it is pretty sedating but other than that has very mild side effects (given the other medications), I believe Abilify is even less sedating than the Seroquel but have no experience with it yet. Source(s): I've been on many of these medications.
schizophrenia.com is a great site with loads of information.... on all the latest treatments , etc..

plus they have webboards for support for the patient or caregivers....

they seem to be down right now..but are generally very reliable.. not sure what is going on with them this morning....
