My father is 54 years old he had history of schizophrenia 15-16 years back. He was doing good and was staying in village. Recently he has moved with us 2 months back. He was apparently well but from past 10-15 days was facing difficulty in sleeping followed by excessive talks, extra spiritual and knowledgeable things. We consulted a local Physician and started on Tab. Petril Clonazepam 0.5 mg in night and Tab. Quetiapine 25 mg. He slept well for 2-3 nights but on getting up has excessive talking. Whether we should increase this dose or switch to some other.

Since he is already on medication I suggest you talk to your treating Psychiatrist and convey his current symptoms to them. It is possible that some changes in medication dosages will help improve the symptoms. As they are familiar with his history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.
