Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

You should see a psychiatrist to prescribe the best medicine for you. There are many anti-psychotics to choose from and they all have their pros and cons. They all have a side effect profile that is different. The best doctor to choose the best medicine for you is a psychiatrist. Good luck!
