> He called. I asked him to take medication if it is offered. How can he get free meds when he gets out? He sounds happy. The other people ther ade him realize his life isn't so bad!

Another thing I hope they are doing which they might not be doing is psychological testing because it really does shed light( but some places don't bother because it takes time and costs more money) on complex disorders and this one sounds much more than pure schizophrenia, I can see things that could be personality disorders and other Axis disorders -- its so hard to say.

Anyhow just a comment.

And yes, I would say Zyprexa, in fact I would say Seroquel -- either really, Zyprexa is stronger in some regards and has different side effects, but Seroquel also has its benefits. They both do cause weight gain but one will for someone and one will not as much for someone else. Or Geodon/Abilify. Risperdal is pretty strong stuff. Anyhow they'll try to assess it. Generic Risperdal is already available I believe. It has higher risks but for someone with pure schizophrenia those aren't as much as those with affective disorders.

Good luck
