Ariday 2.5Mg Tablet Health Feed

Hello, clobazam is never taken for a long period. Sleepiness is due to clobazam mostly. Try tapering off clobazam. For initial 7 days take half the dose then for next 7 days one fourth of the dose then stop clobazam.

Can try hiking up ssris, fluoxetine upto 80 mg and if these are episodic behaviors, then .maintenance ect can be tried. But with caution. But ect I would not have recommended if another antipsychotic was open as an option. Consult a psychiatrist for nearby for discussing best options. This decision is better taken after detailed assessment of impulsive behavior and trying out some behavioral methods would be possible only if patient is available for assessment.

As you have resistance to many drugs, you can consider mood stabilizer at a lower dose after consulting doctor. Best wishes.

Dear lybrate-user
Your dosage is already very low but I have seen with experience that some folks can relapse on no medication at all.
Please don't stop medication on your own. Consult a psychiatrist and keep one family member in the loop so that your treating doctor will have a 360 degree view of the case.
It would have been better if you had mentioned some more clinical details.
Regards Dr. Atul.

Dear lybrate-user,
please don't change the medication on your own. Discuss your concern with your doctor. Haldol acts at various dose differently. At 0.25 mg dose for tourette syndrome, at 2 - 8 mg dose like risperidone. For insomnia haldol may not be a good choice.

The chances of pregnancy depend on whether semen has entered the vagina or not. If it did and 72 hours are not over, better take an Ipill for protection.

How long are you taking the maintenance dose?
How long back was your last relapse? How long have you been symptom free?
Many factors are to be considered if you are thinking of stopping medications. Besides you need to know what triggers these episodes in you. As u mentioned the first episode being at the time of your grandmothers death. It was a stressful event. Similarly if there occur any such stressors in future then you may have a relapse again if you cannot cope with that stress. ...more

Hi lybrate-user,
while going through this verbatim, it appears that your condition of ocd and depression is not yet remitted completely and that is probably due to undertreatment. The treatment you are getting still need to be optimized and dose of fluvoxamine should be increased to 300 mg per day. Clonazepam need to be tapered off and stopped gradually. If needed a medicine from tca class can be added as an augmentation strategy or as an add on.

Hi the medicines you mentioned you have to continue for two years or until you attain a stable state of mind.
