My Father suffered from stroke last month it had affected his vision, specially left side, he was discharged after 3 days of treatment, aft 2 days of discharged he started getting hallucination, seeing things and people on the left side, our doctor asked to take latest MRI after seeing MRI he prescribed clobazam 10 mg, hallucination reduced for some days, but frequency has increased again, also he sometimes forgets things, also now a days while standing he drifts backwards like he may fall. Doctor has now prescribed Encorate Chrono 500 along with clobazam. Is this a type of fits or epilepsy? How long will it take to cure. After these medicines are started he does not sleep at all. Appetite has reduced, but the hallucination is still there. It happens 4,5 times a day. We are from Haliyal it is 32 Km away from Dharwad.

The hallucinations and similar feelings are due to the brain injury caused by stroke and it will go with medication after a long time.

You may require 3 to 5 years long course of anticonvulsants Medicine and then trial to decrease and stopping Medicine is done. If no seizures episode then you can stop anticonvulsant. No interaction normally occurs but be regular check up and regular consultation with your doctor.

Hello lybrate-user, antiepileptic medication like encorate chrono can cause sedation. Its better to show to your doctor adjusting the dosage, keeping antiepileptic causing sedation at night time, maintaining proper hydration may resolve the issue. Do not decrease the dose without proper guidance from your doctor. Best wishes.

Hello,
I am not sure that you are suffering from schizophrenia, symptoms are more suggestive of depression which can be treated effectively, if you list out your symptoms in chronological order right from the beginning I will be able to guide you better. Depression is a very much treatable disorder and you should concentrate on that.

An neurological medication has to be withdrawn in a tapered fashion just as your neurophysician at nimhans has advised. Please follow it religiously.

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

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism and siezures (probably epilepsy) are tow totally different conditions. Both need to be treated with specific drugs. Treatment for seizures is invariably goes on for many years. As regards hypothyroidism, once it is diagnosed, the condition remains for lifetime. Therefore, treatment has to be continued for the whole life.
