My son who is a computer programmer and Masters of IT student travelled to the UK from Australia & his antipsychotic drug Solian stopped working on the flight over. He experienced psychosis and spent some weeks being treated with other drugs. He has now been admitted to a high care facility and being treated with Soloquin.

Is there a more modern drug that would help him?Thanks AAAA
