Question: What anti psychotic medications do you take and why!?
I'm asking because I know they have many uses and would like some more insight on why people take them!. I take risperdal which is used for treating schizophrenia although I don't think I have schizophrenia!. I take it for psychosis which occured alongside my depression!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I also take Risperdal!. That and Seroquel are my anti psych meds for Schizoaffective disorder!.

When I first started out with the psych doctors they told me depression with psychotic symptoms, which sounds similar to you!. However its clear to me, those around me, and later to them, that for me it was a bit more than that!.!.!.
