Hello Miss wood,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I can understand your situation. You do have some symptoms of schizophrenia but proper diagnosis can be made after evaluation only by a psychiatrist.

You need antipsychotic meidicines.
There are two types:
First generation(Typical antipsychotic) which includes haloperidol,trifuloperazine can be used in positive symptoms of schizophrenia which you have some of those.Extra pyramidal side effects can occur with this but pacitane/bexol can be take with this to prevent side effects.

Second generation(atypical) antipsychotic includes risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, amisulpride with different side effect profile according to molecule and can be used in positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
medicines will also help in concentration.if secondary depressive symptoms are there antidepressant can be added.

You need to continue medicines after improvement for stable life under medical supervision.

Hope I have answered your query
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
