Child Has Schizophrenia, Prescribed Fluoxetine And Olanzapine. Want Homeopathic Remedies

My son, born on 15 – 02 – 1996 with the birth weight of 2.400Kgs.. Didn’t cry immediately on birth. Never cried for any feeding during infancy. He was to indicate his hunger by sucking lip, finger , pillow or a part of his bed sheet. He was to stay with his grandmother and a lady servant the whole day (7.30am to 5.00 pm ) as his mother was working in bank and father had to go out for business. As he grew upto 1 year & 3-4 months his grandmother refused to keep him due to her old age. Then tried for a small scale baby sitting with which he was absolutely uncomfortable and unhappy. He was to cry everyday and he was not willing to stay there. Then he was to stay in a PALNAGHAR where there were about 70 children.. But he was not willing to go to the PALNAGHAR and wanted to stay at home. Finally his mother had to take V.R.S. to solve the problem. Anger : Cannot control. During anger he is very bad – destructive and arrogant. Indisciplined behaviour. Never keeps his books, clothes, etc. properly. Impulsive :During childhood liked to watch cartoon films and cricket match on T.V., keeping his all work pending. Wants to study only one or two days before exam which puts more stress on him. Very sincere and obedient at college, but not at home. He is clever, intelligent and sharp in memory . He is very good chess player and has a desire to be Grandmaster. Likes to collect soft toys, toy dogs, toy puppy, etc.and gets so much involved while playing with them that he treats all of them as his own family member.. Never tells his problem in spite of asking him in confidence. To escape from this, he changes the topic tactfully. Delayed sleep phase syndrome Cannot sleep early Sometimes at 3AM Last Sunday he slept at 4.15 AM and got up at 1.00 PM. Thursday night slept at 1.30 AM and got up at 11.15 AM Friday night he slept at 12.45 AM and got up at 2.00 PM & yesterday night he slept at 2.00 AM and got up at 1.00 PM. Unable to get up in the morning even after a sleep of 12 hours or more. Desire to remain in bed in spite of becoming awake. Lethargy. Giving false excuses like, legs pain, etc. if told to get up. Gets angry if he is disturbed from sleep. Very restless before going to bed Hurry in eating, walking, etc . Difficulty in concentrating, making decisions, remembering, absentmindedness Restlessness, irritability or excessive argument. Unable to tolerate contradiction, interruption of parents. Treats parents as unwanted, silly and backward people. Revengeful. Not ready to forgive. Tries to use Physical power. Increase in energy level during anger and quarrel. Gets ready to bang head or to leave home when angry.. Recalls old grievances; and quarrels. Impatient and impulsive. Expects every one to answer or to act in a moment, without understanding his / her problem, if any. Feeling of insecurity. False pride and superiority complex. At the same time, very frightful and impatient when in problem. Complaining about Obsessive thoughts or delusions for last 3 months. Compulsive behavior observed from last 3 – 4 months. Not bothered about taking bath, hair-cut or shaving Rhythmic movement of feet during sleep, as if he is awake. Makes lot of plans about studying or about going to college the next morning. But unable to execute the plans. No feelings (OR MAY BE HIDING THE FEELINGS ) about missing lectures or studies. No interest or desire to do anything other than playing chess. Able to read and concentrate on chess study material but there is no desire even to open academic study books or material. He becomes nervous or depressed if told not to play chess. Physical weakness and lack of stamina. Loss of weight. Emaciation. Nocturnal emission . Heavy perspiration on slightest exertion. Increasing absentmindedness.Loss of weight. But not feeling weakness during chess tournament atmosphere. Sometimes smiles with himself after thinking about sometjing for long time and then looks around to see if anyone watched him. Not bothered about changing clothes when at home, taking bath, shaving, hair cut, nail cutting, etc. Sometimes suddenly starts singing R & B songs very loudly. Trying to hide his feelings & thoughts by way of changing the topic of conversation. Thinks that he knows better or he can do anything. Doing mobile chating, facebook and playing online rapid chess games of very short duration i.e. 1 – 3 minutes. These games require very fast thinking and hence makes him mentally exhausted and increases his anxiety. Going to college just for the sake of attendance. Did not cry or weep when his grandmother expired I think he is having Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and not sleep onset insomnia. Sleep deprivation for last 3-4 years. Intelligent, ambitious, scored 100% marks on S S C Exam in March, 2011 Ambitious,never contented and performance minded. But no fixed focus on one goal. Capricious, arguementative, revangeful and rarely forgiving. Questions : Can we allow him to watch horror / suspense films at night or after midnight? He wants to keep friendship / relationship with one girl. We don’t have any objection, but we feel that this should be within limit and he should not be after that keeping aside everything else. Further, girl’s parents are orthodox and they have objection. If tomorrow this friendship breaks then he should not go into further depression. What is your opinion? If we disconnect internet, he may find some other way out or may prefer to remain out of home. What do you think? Psychiatrist have made the diagnosis of Schizophrenia . Fluoxetine 40mg once a day is already started and now I am told to give my son Olanzapine 2.5 mg 3 hours before sleep to make him sleep at normal aleeping time. I know harms of this drug. Please advise me some homeopathic remedies to escape from these drugs.
