    I wsih i could offer some advice, but my best friend is a diagnosed paranoid schizo and i'm not sure how to handle that. We go for a drive every once and a while on the LIE (Long Island Expressway). We talk, there's silence, then we just turn around at the end. He seems to have a good time, but who could tell, the meds turned him into a fucking zombie.

    does he take zyprexa? that stuff is STRONG! I agree with catwoman, it might need to be adjusted.
    yeah. my buddy was on that stuff and was kind of zombie ish. and gained 50 pounds/

    he went to invega (sp?) and says its like night and day. says its the way to go.

    he has paranoid schizo as well.


    yeah.


    I'm sure the drives help.

    peace.
