Dear lybrate-user,
the patient has two manifestation or major neurologic symptoms dystonia and now paranoia and hallucinations. As he was started on pacitane (trihexiphenidyl) for dystonia then he developed neuropsychiatric complaints. I would like to explain all the symptoms due to a single cause rather than bring in a new diagnosis. Pacitane has side effect of hallucinations and paranoid behaviour. That may be the cause rather than schizophrenia, I suggest taper pacitane and see the result...more

Hello,
It seems that the diagnosis of schizophrenia has been confirmed and she has placed on medication. there is an urgent need for her to continue the medication and schizophrenia needs to be controlled. IVF can be carried out at the same time. But remember that medication for schizophrenia is must for her. there is no definite proof as yet that resperidone can harm the fetus and it shouyld be used as the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to fetus

To my knowledge Cariprazine is not still available in India for prescriptuon. Studies till now have shown its efficacy in negative symptoms but hallucinations are positive symptoms. Clozapine is effective if other drugs have failed. Till now there is no permanent cure for schizophrenia.
