Hi,
This is a very common situation in people suffering from Parkinsonism and you might be correct in assuming the symptoms of talking to herself are due to the medicines. Syndopa actually increases the dopamine levels in your brain which could lead to increase in symptoms like delusions and hallucinations. However if we try to treat the talking to self, this might further decrease dopamine levels and in turn increase trembling and parkinsonian features. So a delicate balance needs to be mai...more

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.

Discuss your imbalance issues with your psychiatrist, do an mri brain, and other tests to rule out medical causes, before deicide it is part of depression and then get the medications adjusted. Good luck.

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.

Hi lybrate-user, dystonia is a psychiatric emergency, please consult a nearby psychiatrist in-person or visit any medical emergency. The psychiatrist will also be able to explain you the causation and mechanism of hallucination and delusion along with potential side effects of the medicines. Whether he needs 1/2/3 medicines will be best decided by examining the patient, going through the previous medical records and past response to medications.
Thanks & regards.
