Report

My father is 64 years old. He has been suffering from depression for 4 years. Doctor has prescribed him olanzapine 2.5 mg, clonazepam 0.5 mg, censpram 10 mg and zyren 100 mg. But he is not taking censpram and zyren as he says censpram increase his heartbeat. He also hide from doctor that he not takes them. He lies on bed from 9 pm to next day 2 pm and then he reads god's book till night. He only leave bed for eating food. When we ask him to do other activities, he starts saying negative things. He only washes utensils in the whole day and watch tv for very less time. The main problem is that he only get very less sleep at night say good sleep for 2 hours and light sleep for some hours. He urinate in every few minutes in day time and urinate for 8 to 10 times at night that is why he not sleep well. Urologist said he has no problem. The problem is linked to mind. He drinks excess water in day time whenever he feel anxious. Doctor please suggest some tips for his problem. Can he take alternative for censpram.

Sir, kindly consult with his doctor for medication changes, but I will try to take a different view of his condition.

Has his condition deteriorated with time? If possible have good conversations with him on his topic of intere...more

If you wanna decrease the dose, you should start exercising daily. Like real rigorous physical exercise. The endorphins released out of it will help you feel better and you can eventually decrease the dose.
Although, taking Feliz S plus for years and decades doesn't produce much of problems except Sexual Dysfunctions.

Hello-
