Is it the voices?????????????????????????????

Posted by canwetalk on May 9, 2003, at 22:23:19

My daughter has schizophrenia and her behavior now has gone from bad to worse. At her day program she has been screaming and today had knocked a pan off of the stove with burgers cooking. Thankfully she was not hurt nor anyone else.
My question is when a person displays behaviors like this are they hearing voices that tell them to do these things? When she was on Risperdal she did not display thing like this. However the Risperdal was not working for her so it was discontinued.
The Abilify is 15mg and hopefully an increase up to 20mg may help. Wondering if something else should be added. This is really getting hard for us. It is hard for her to express or communicate so we really do not know what is going on in her head. Any suggestions or information would be GREATLY appreciated.
