The newest medications for schizophrenia are the atypical antipsychotics, such as Zyprexa, Geodon, Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify, and Clozaril.
Online therapy sites exist, but I would take caution in using them. You don't know what their qualifications are and its difficult to determine if the therapist is really the person you are talking to. Also, schizophrenia requires very individualized, structured care. Something you can receive better if you meet with a therapist in person.

Zyprexa is for Schizophrenia, but it makes me very tired. You are supposed to take it at night, but I still feel tired all day long, lathargic. I don't like that feeling. It makes the depression I endure as result of this feeling all that much worse.

Try Seroquel. I take it for another reason but in a higher dose it is used for schizophrenia. I take it at night because it will make you sleep.

If you really think you have a problem, see a good psychologist.If that doctor thinks you need meds, then he'll send you to a psychiatrist. If it were me, I'd get my meds from the M.D., but talk to the psychologist. The shrinks can string you along for years.the psychologist won't. They'll let you know when you're cured.

no, bi-polar. sorry! i was on zyprexa but it does strange things to you. a lot of them not good. if medication is a must research it thoroughly, I'm very concerned of the long term effects on the body... psychiatrists are not always liked but they are specialists in their field. more informed than a general practitioner. my family phisician wouldnt treat my depression
