Patients with paranoid ideation are generally not recommended to self medicate with multiple antipsychotic drugs, and the specific medication plan should strictly follow the doctor's advice. Antipsychotic drugs mainly include olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, etc. The combination of drugs may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Paranoia is a spectrum disorder of schizophrenia, and medication treatment needs to be tailored according to factors such as symptom severity and individual tolerance. When a single drug is ineffective in sufficient treatment, doctors may cautiously consider combination therapy, but close monitoring of indicators such as electrocardiogram and liver function is necessary. Unauthorized mixing of medications may lead to worsening of extrapyramidal reactions, metabolic disorders, or cardiac toxicity. Some refractory patients may try low-dose drug combinations under the supervision of a doctor, such as olanzapine combined with aripiprazole to improve negative symptoms, or risperidone assisted sodium valproate to control impulsive behavior. However, such plans require regular follow-up visits to adjust the dosage and avoid the accumulation of side effects such as drowsiness and tremors. Patients and their families are not allowed to add or remove medication on their own or imitate others' medication plans. Patients with paranoid ideation should adhere to regular follow-up visits, cooperate with psychological therapy and social function training. Pay attention to maintaining a regular daily routine and avoid alcohol and caffeine stimulation. If abnormal reactions such as muscle stiffness and palpitations occur, seek medical attention immediately. Do not stop or add medication without authorization due to fear of harm. Family members should properly keep medication, supervise patients to take it on time and in the appropriate amount, and record changes in emotional behavior after medication for doctors' reference.
