My friend was diagnosed with schizophrenia. What medications are used to treat schizophrenia?
Antipsychotics like risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and clozapine. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, we`re here to help you.
This is more of a question for a Psychiatrist, as Psychologists (with few exceptions) do not prescribe medication. There are a number of different types of medications that can be prescribed for Schizophrenia with Anti-Psychotics being the primary.
Antipsychotics such as Risperidone, Fluphenazine, Thioridazine, and Ziprasidone are some of the medications they may be prescribed.
