Oltha 20 MG Tablet Health Feed

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression for more than 15 years. I have been on different medications and had stopped taking medicines for some years in between. After multiple relapse, I am right now on tolaz 10 mg and rexipra20 mg before sleep and pacitane during the mornings. I have been on this dosage for more than 6 months. I would like to know when these medications will be reduced as my doctor has said that I have to concentrate on recovery instead of asking questions like when the medicines will be stopped. Due to multiple relapses in between in these 15 years, the doctor has said that the medicines might have to be taken for life time. My major problem is the muscle contractions, a pull feeling in the muscles of both my legs, and diarrhoea which are hampering my normal behaviour.

Hi along with medication you need to go for psychotherapy sessions with a clinical psychologist for both the features. Main is the thought process you need to work onto. And when you make your thought process strong despite of thinking when I will improve or how much time it will take focus on therapy and the negative or false thought patterns will be fading off slowly or you will learn to handle when those thoughts are coming. Regards.

That is quite delusional and is not such a good sign at your age. Apart from the medications you are taking, you must seek the help of a counselor and learn some new skills and techniques to deal with daily life. That person will also help you understand reality from fiction. You must trust the person and learn to agree and live by what s/he says in spite of your inner leanings. You are distorting reality and illusions and delusions will plague you endlessly if you do not combine therapy with me...more

the love and support of family and friends plays an important role in schizophrenia treatment and recovery. If you have a loved one with schizophrenia, you may be struggling with any number of difficult emotions, including fear, guilt, anger, and frustration. You may feel helpless in the face of your loved one’s symptoms, worried about the stigma of schizophrenia, or confused and embarrassed by their strange behaviors. You may even be tempted to hide your loved one’s illness fr...more

My sister was suffering from some kind of mental illness, she is hearing things. She thinks that she is good but 'someone' is trying to make her bad (spoil her) but she choose to be in the right path. But other people may listen to that 'someone' and start criticizing her. So, she is afraid. She keeps telling that her mind is divided into three parts-part1 is telling her to make herself educated, part-2 is telling her to control her body language and part 3 is that part which is telling her the things that someone has told her earlier to spoil her but she never allowed them to enter her mind. It started before four days (though she keeps saying things like some people are bad, she always had a doubtful kind of attitude but it became very serious now. Before three days from now, she became out of control, she suddenly starts crying and then laugh at the same time, she was behaving and acting like she was afraid of something. We took her to a consultant (Psychiatrist probably), he told that she is having extreme depression and prescribed medicines (*i don't know everything what he said because I was not allowed to enter the chamber, my father and mother went inside with her)*.That day she wasn't talking with us but from the next she started making some progress but she keeps telling the same things again and again. We are trying to help her and telling her to forget all those things but after sometimes she starts to tell the same things. Though she can read and write very well like normal (I asked her to make me understand a chapter of my book, she did it like she usually does). Medicines prescribed by doctor are: combitone plus oltha 7.5 tremnil zolford From yesterday she became a bit normal but she keeps asking us about the real sounds, if they are real or not. I want to know it is Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or just depression? And will she ever become normal without any future trouble? PLEASE HELP!

By your description I think your sister is having schizoaffective disorder. With regular medication and psychotherapy she may become near normal. I would suggest you to see a counseling psychologist along with the psychiatrist. Family therapy is also needed to keep your sister normal. please don't get panic. Mental disorders are like other disease. If you need my help then I'm available here on Lybrate on text counseling.

Dear lybrate user,
it is better for your daughter to continue the medicines prescribed by the doctor, for the time being. But along with this she certainly needs counselling. She might have a number of issues at this age, which she may not be able to share with anyone. The counselling process will give her an outlet to express herself and understand her own mind. Cbt will work for her, but don't insist on it. Let the counsellor decide which therapy will suit your daughter. Most counsellors w...more
