You have been assigned to care for Jim. He is 29 years old and has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Jim has been prescribed chlorpromazine [Thorazine]. He lives with his parents. You have been asked to talk with Jim's family. His parents have questions about the side effects of chlorpromazine. While Jim is in a group session, you meet with his parents. 1. The mother asks what Jim's physician mean when they say chlorpromazine causes extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). She says that if these symptoms create problems, she wants to know what can be done to help the situation. How should you answer her questions?. (2). Jim's father asks about the long-term effects of taking antipsychotic drugs. He states, "I read that the extrapyramidal symptoms only gets worse. How can they get worse than the ones you talked about? With all the research going on, what can be done to help this?". What is your response. Jim's mother states that she is concerned. "I understand that Jim will need to take the medication for the rest of his life. How am I ever going to get him to take these pills if the side effects are so bad?. "What is your response.

I'd tell Jim's mother and father that there are many medications that can be prescribed to schizophrenics such as Jim. Thorazine isn't his only option, there are a variety of Anti-Psychotic medications that his psychiatrist can prescribe to him. When it comes to any medication that involves mental health treatment its trial and error until his psychiatrist can prescribe him what's just right. All medications have Negative effect that's a given but not all are as severe as the other. for example Jim may be prescribed one medication lets say he's prescribed Saphris and gains severe weight. His psychiatrist can switch out the Saphris for Abilify. If the Abilify doesn't give him that problem of gaining weight and Jim has little to moderate side effects he'll stay on that medication.  ^^ Listed medications for schizophrenia down below.
