It is difficult to get the right combination of medications to control the symptoms as well as make the person feel comfortable without side effects. Constantly working with an astute psychiatrist. It will take time. There are no exact medicines, different people respond differently to different ones.

Dear user if you donât want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts.

Dear Lybrate-User,
if the diagnosis is schizophrenia, the medication will be, most probably, life long. The tablets you are taking are not sedating. Your 11-12 hours sleep may be due to no work to do, not taking up the responsibilities, lazing in bed by habit, not finding pleasure in activity, etc. You need to undergo psychosocial rehabilitation without stopping these tablets.

You should notice change after 4 to 6 weeks but full recovery may take months. After recovery you should continue to take medicines till your psychiatrist advises you to stop. Very commonly it is seen that patients stop treatment after remission and subsequently they relapse. These medicines are safe for long term use. Good luck.

Get your serum sodium and potassium level tested. Consult your psychiatrist about possibility of initiating psychotherapy with psychologist. That would help your symptoms and might help to decrease medicine dosage to some extent eventually. Causing relief from the symptoms you have narrated.
