Soltus and Sulpitac are the same medicine manufactured by different companies, the indication for which it is being tken is right but she has to be evaluated fully and then medicine has to be initiated, if you feel it is working you may continue but still to be evaluated and followed up by a psychiatrist.

Schizophrenia and depression-
You have to be on drugs as long as your psychiatrist advise for it.
You should stick to your psychiatrists rescription, dosage and schedule.

Dear lybrate-user,
many medicines in psychiatry are prescribed for different indications. For e.g. Soltus, in different dosages is used for both depression as well as psychotic illnesses and other indications.

Dear Aishwarya,
