My brother has been on most of the atypical ones and they don't seem to work for him. Haldol works but his psychiatrist is scared to increase the dosage even though it seems to be the only medicine he responds too. Can some one give me some serious feed back about what to do?What are some antipsychotic meds that work well for african-american teenage males?
I wish I could. My sister claims that's the only one that works for her. I can't say it isn't but I always wondered if that was just the one she likes (maybe gets high on it). She is bipolar and schizoid affected. Both of those are inclined to not want medicine.
It's difficult to tell what's true from her. She believes everything that pops into her head. That seems to be the syndrome for schizophrenia.
I am clinically depressed (and I too seem to have some bipolar inclinations) and only one has worked for me (not Haldol). Electro-convulsive therapy did work initially before they found the one that helps, but that helps only some depressives. It has been found to be not so effective for other types of illness and doesn't work for all depressives.
I don't think being African-American makes any difference. We're not.
