My wife was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2002. Despite being on medication (risperidone 2mg x 2 daily) from 2006 till 2013, she has now stopped unanimously and has relapsed. Our doctor prescribed her soltus 200mg, which she declined to take. Things don't look good as my father in law, a doctor by profession, is in denial and coverup mode to further complicate matters. What is the prognosis from here on as we have a five year old adopted daughter and quiet frankly, I am getting weary of being a male nurse on 24x7 call since 1999?

U should take care of your self. Medical as well as psychological support your giving but you also involve lots than required. So stop over involvement. In medicine also you can change like if she better with risperidone, increase dose up to 6mg and add another antipsychotic like aripiprazole.
