Clozapine 100 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 18 years old from Chennai

I am 21 years old male. While studying in college 1st and 2nd year college I studied well. In the starting of 3rd year, I went to hostel. In the hostel, anyone didn't allow me to study and misused me and they stole my things. As a result ,I got many arrears and I think why they are doing such a things to me. And I often get unwanted thoughts of suicide and I get shooting pains and unwanted shaking of body. I suffered a lot. I also have feeling that someone is watching me and controlled by someone. Then by saying to parents we went to a psychiatrist and he said that I have some mood disorders and preferred medicines such as clozapine etc. Then,whenever I went to hospital he put intramuscular injection that is Invega Sustenna. This is continued for 1 year. Due to these medications I have side effects such as dry mouth, weight gain etc. I get dreams about the friends who misused me. After taking these medicines I get unwanted thoughts but not frequently as before. How to get complete rid of unwanted thoughts? Can I stop taking medicines? Whether the side effects will go away? If not there is a solution in Ayurveda?

You are being treated for schizophrenia and it is a serious mental disease. Although this is a long time and you will probably remain so on medication you must still persevere. Schizophrenia is a very complex and difficult disease to treat, even with medication. All psychotropic medicines have side-effects: that is inescapable. But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counseling or therapy. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping m...more

Sir, My elder daughter, age 24 years is a patient of schizophrenia and is under treatment at PGI Chandigarh for the last 10 years. Presently she takes clozapine 200 mg single dose daily. Her problem is somewhat controlled but not totally cured. My younger son aged 17 years ,who is presently studying in class 12th (Non Medical stream) is quite intelligent and is presently taking coaching for Joint Entrance Exam of Engineering stream. His problem is that while he is quite at ease with Maths and Physics, he does not fare well in Chemistry. In weekly coaching/school test he does not fare well in Chemistry. Whenever, his results are out he is quite upset and gives up studying other subjects also. He does not want to go school/coaching institution and quarrels with his mother. When scolded for this, he becomes abusive and makes illogical arguments. However, after some time all is normal and he agrees to go to school/coaching institution . He does perform well in studies but again he is not consistent with his studies for the reasons mentioned above. Sometimes he is so optimistic that he he boasts of cracking IIT exam. But gives up easily when confronted with non performance. His lifestyle is somewhat similar. Sometimes, he cares well for his outlook, dress etc. But on another occasion, he does not care about his personal hygiene also. This issue was also discussed by me with Consular of my daughter at PGI Chandigarh, who asked me to bring my son for check up as soon as it is possible, but the problem is that my wife differs with me and says that our son has no psychiatry problem and it is just a behavioral problem and that would subside with the passage of time. She also fears that taking our son to PGI Chandigarh would make him dependent on medicines (with side effects) life long , as is the case with our elder daughter. Here in this context, I would request you to kindly advise me the right course. Thanking you.

The counselor could be right for some reasons and your wife could be right for other reasons. The timing of the problem your son manifests is very significant and something has to be done. The reason I say this is that he is in his late teens and this is the last time his issues will come up looking for a resolution goaded by hormonal imbalances, particularly testosterone. If you do not take care of it now, he will have permanent negative features and those will grow over time and will become se...more

I have schizophrenia and I don’t feel like to do regular exercise nowadays. On 29th october 2021 and 1st november 2021, a psychiatrist diagnosed me 3 times with schizophrenia and prescribed me second line of treatment (sizopin – clozapine 25 mg at 7 pm and amisulpride 100 mg - freq. 1 0 2) but I did’t start the allopathic treatment for schizophrenia and opted for natural home remedies, and watching sandeep maheshwari videos for positive affirmations. Is there cure for schizophrenia? Is recovery possible? Does medicines useful for schizophrenia? If yes, then which one? Ayurveda/unani, homoeopathy, or allopathic? If no, then what about psychological counselling? Many schizophrenia patients are taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 – 12 years but not relief. Any comment on this? I think medicines alone cannot treat schizophrenia because medicines cannot alter behaviour. Is schizophrenia a lifelong mental health issue? What are the causes of schizophrenia so that the root cause treatment can be find out? Clinical psychologist advised me not to watch negative programs like c.i.d, crime patrol and saavdhaan india. Which foods should be avoid in schizophrenia case patient? What should a schizophrenic person do to improve his/her condition? I am 22 years old male as of 2021. So am I too young to diagnose with schizophrenia? Why there are no lab tests to diagnose schizophrenia? Why so many doctors’ perspective/opinion about schizophrenia differ? Why some of the antipsychotic medicines for schizophrenia banned in some places? Is there a high chance of suicide for schizophrenia patients after the treatment because after the treatment, they may feel guilty and thus prone to suicide? Am I right or am I right? At the most, what will happen to a schizophrenic people who is not receiving allopathic treatment? Awaiting your reply. Thank you. Regards, xavier siby moorkattil (extc engineering student at x.i.e. College, mumbai)

Dear Shaik,
All your symptoms are symptoms of schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, there is dopamine deficiency. All the tablets that you have taken are to correct that deficiency. May be because of the tablets you don't have positive symptoms. Negative symptoms need to be treated with psychosocial methods. Unfortunately you may be having treatment resistant schizophrenia. How much clozapine for how long you have taken? Talk to your doctor on effective dose of clozapine and psychosocial rehabili...more

The choice of antipsychotic lies on treating doctor. Medicines are chosen based on patient profile and side effects. Both are good. If on Skizoril you have get repeat blood count done. Both cause wight gain .so diet and exercise is essential. Don't stop medicine yourself.

yes amisulpride is the drug of choice for negative symptoms, but it may not act for many also.In that case it has to be judiciously used with other medications and attempted to bring the negative symptoms under control.
