The patient is on highest dose of paroxetine for past three years. He has mild ocd and dysphoria. Thus to manage the thoughts of ocd (moderate) olanzapine 2.5 was given but it made patient emotionless. Then the doctor put me on arpizol (ability) 5 mg but results were the same. Recently we tried risperidone 1 mg and it exacerbated my dysphoria and I was again emotionless. Could you suggest me a good antipsychotic to be concomitantly used for managing thought. Or shall I continue trying antipsychotic? Do not wish to go for cbt. Thank you.
