My son was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder last year. He was prescribed Saphris (10 mg) and Celexa (20 mg). The medication worked but he became non-compliant. He was hospitalized and prescribed Risperadone (injection). The doctor made a mistake and increase the dose and then lower the dose; he was hospitalized again in February. Subsequently, he was placed on Invega Sustenna, which appeared to be working until two months ago. He is now hospitalized again and the doctor just started him on Zyprexa (10 mg) and plans to continue the Invega Sustenna (254mg). My son is depressed, hearing voices, poverty of speech, and apathetic. The Zyprexa is making him sleepy but he was already oversleeping. I guess I want to know others' experiences regarding this diagnosis and anti-psychotic medication.
