How long does Prozac and Ativan take to treat psychotic breakdown?
human
A friend is going through a psychotic break for the last 4 weeks.  She is much better now though she still has delusions.  My concern is that she is not on an anti-psychotic med -- currently on Prozac and Ativan.  Her doc thought her break was due to sudden discontinuation of her Prozac and increased stress she was having.  I have talked to her parents about seeing if her GP can start her on Trileptal after her Dad told me she had a major side effect with olanzaprine.  If for whatever reason she does not get started on an antipyschotic or med like Trileptal, how long may it take her to get back to her baseline, it at all?  Thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe treatment would depend on the exact diagnosis made by her psychiatrist.It is understandable to be concerned about the progress of your friend's condition. It would be best to speak to the doctor managing her condition to find out if he or thinks that she may benefit from the addition of anti psychotic medication.I hope this helps
