For a teen with early onset of schizophrenia (15 yo) and has tried Risperdal, Zyprexa and Seroquel but has not been effective. Is Prolixin a good choice?

I am depressed (very) takings meds for a long time but none seem to really help. to make my situation worse i don't have many friends or family around me, just me and my husband. the worst of it is my only son was sent to iraq 2 weeks ago, my car quit running so i am now driving a very unreliable one until Sept so it is hard for me to get out and do anything. sometimes it just seems like the computer is all i have and i get sick of that too. do you have any suggestions as to what i can do to make myself feel better and quit feeling sorry for myself. i am really trying but i feel like a brick wall comes up at every corner. any suggestions are welcome but be nice:)

My 14 year old son has always been a very individualistic kid. He's introverted but a real thinker. On the other hand he is a weak student. His relationship with me (his mother) has always been very strong, but sometimes people say that I pamper him (e.g. he still calls me "mommy"). A year ago I divorced his father. Since then he hasn't really changed in behaviour. The family of his father does everything to spoil him though. They also pressure him to study. In general his family is warm and always showed that they cared. Last week something changed. After sleeping over at his aunt he came back in a hyper mood. He started talking non-stop, saying incoherent things, refusing to sleep. This has been going on now for a week to the extent that my ex and my sister in law (his aunt) are staying over to keep an eye on him. My son says he feels powerful and often he talks in a combattant way.
Does my son have a psychosis and if yes, can this be temporary? Or is there more at play here

--that you don't need support and comfort from a certain person, that you can survive more than fine on your own. Even though, you will still care about him or her and will try to not hold any grudges.

When I was a kid, I was considered a "nerd" and "the ugly girl" at my school. It didn't help matters much that I was born with a "lazy eye" and that I didn't know how to fix my hair properly or put on the best makeup.However, when I was 22, I was finally able to get my lazy eye surgically corrected, so that was one problem that was solved. Since then, I've learned how to dress well, apply makeup properly, and wear the right haircut. However, I STILL feel like the nerd and the ugly girl!I've been told by a few people that I'm attractive, though I still occasionally have heard a few people comment negatively on my appearance. Also, I don't exactly have guys beating down my door.Above all else, though, I want to stop feeling so damned self-conscious! I sometimes find myself staring in the mirror to see if I look ugly or not. (Some days I think I do, and others I don't.) How can I stop worrying about my looks and just relax?

I used to be a cutter for many years. I've had depression/anxiety/panic disorder/bipolar 2? since age 12 (11 years ago). I am on medication that has reduced suicidal urges and controlled my symptoms to some extent. My doctor says I don't need any medication changes.

But lately, I've been having outbursts of rage. I generally don't take it out on anybody. I just have to scream and punch my pillows. Sometimes I run out of the house, down the street, and curl up in the grass, hidden from the world. I often punch the walls, cabinets, doors, etc. At times like this, my family can't say anything to help.

I usually take a Klonopin, and eventually it starts to help me calm down. About a half hour after it begins, it's over. And I feel normal again. Any advice on how to stop this from getting out of control? My psychiatrist says I have all of the right meds and dosages. What else can I do?

My family is really not normal! I feel like the only one that got out with finding emotional health. But then I look around.. isn't having 'toxic' familly the normal thing nowadays... I hope so, because I don't want to feel ripped off.

I have mental health issues and he persistently uses this to intimidate me and is trying to take my children away saying i'm unfit (I'm not) He bullies me and mocks both me faith and my mental illnees........how can I deal with this psycho who proclaims he will deliberatly drive me to suicide, as he boasts about doing it before, when I did crack up. I don't know what to do as he is such a psychopath he managed to turn my own family against me and has more rights over the children as I have been ill in the past? He is proper pscho, a mental health nurse who abuses vunerable adults. What would folk here do? He has good cards in his hand as I had a breakdown two years ago and it unfortunatly is still counted

I'm through a very bad period due to a very hard job search.Unfortunately it's also caused by the fact that where I live there aren't opportunities at all.Anybody been through this before?
Thanks for answering.

Okay I have a woman that I love very much. Right now it is 2:54am and I just got through having a panic attack. While I was in the process I woke her up and told her to come stay with me while I was having it. She got up for a second and she said that she was sleepy. I told her that she could lye on the couch or something with me and even doze off on the couch. Just as long as she was near me during this panic attack. She went on in the bedroom despite my panicing. I couldn't go in the room. Long story with the panic, but anyways; she went into the room and went to sleep. I am still kinda panicing.

Booze,pills.She is also kind of my boss.She cant handle her job anymore.Thing is she wants the rest of us to quit with her.As for me I really dont think I can go on much longer working under the pressure of her issues.She gets drunk and calls me crying and says she cant handle it anymore.So I am just about ready to quit but I dont think the others wants to quit there job just because she is ready to bail out.Well she is mad about it.I think she wants us all to quit with her so she will not look so bad.Truth is she really does need to quit because of her addictions.They are so out of control and the job envolves a level head to be able to deal with it.But like I said she is the head of this job and the others including me just work there.She runs the show and none of the rest of us want to be in charge and if she does quit one of us would be expected to take her place.So what to do?I dont know how to tell her she needs to get some help.I am sure she knows this already but just keeps on

I'm not sure if it's year's of being on the brink of sleep, incase of any of my children, calling for me, wanting me to lay with them in the middle of the night, or if it is stress related, I don't feel like I sleep when I wake up, I wake up throughout the night, I seem to sleep very light, and although I know I used to dream and was at the stage of wanting to take control of my dreams, (realise I was dreaming and make the dream go in the direction I wanted it too) now I just DON't dream, and it's not great because I feel dream's hold messages, any idea's?
