[|Human|] I was diagonized acute psychosis(sleeplessness,restless and behavioral problems) in 2005. Was on chlorpromazine and serenace for a couple of years but since I had 2 relapses I changed doctor who prescribed loxapine succinate 25 mg, paroxetine hydrochloride and nitrosun. Now currently on loxapine 10mg and paroxetine. Is treating acute psychosis with loxapine and SSRI a correct treatment for acute psychosis? Is there any chance of complete recovery? How is acute psychosis different from schizophernia?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about the treatment of your psychiatric problem. Regarding the medication that you are on, Loraine is an anti-psychotic medication which is used to treat psychotic disorders like acute psychosis. But Paroxetine is an anti-depressant medication used to treat depressive and anxiety disorders. I'm not sure why you have been prescribed an anti-depressant when you have mentioned that your diagnosis was acute psychosis. Please clarify this with your doctor. The difference between acute psychosis and Schizophrenia is that acute psychosis occurs suddenly and lasts only for a short duration (usually less than a month), whereas Schizophrenia is a chronic condition, usually characterized by relapses. Acute psychosis has a good chance of complete recovery, but Schizophrenia usually requires long-term treatment and monitoring. Wish you all the best.
