Dear lybrate-user, if you are suffering from bipolar disorder, you need effective mood stabiliser like lithium carbonate, divalproex or carbamazepine. Eritric dose need to be adjusted according to the effect you need. Probably you may not need oratric. It becomes ineffective in course of time. You may not become angry and violent often, if proper dose of mood stabiliser is taken.

Yes its safe for all. Rather risk getting severe Covid-19 infection is much more than the risk of side effects. Do not stop or hold any medicine for vaccination.

Hi! my grandmother is 79 years old. She suffered right frontal intracerebral hematoma on 02/02/2021 at 11 pm. She was discharged from the hospital on 08/02/2021 in haemodynamically stable condition. She was on the following medications during her stay at the hospital: inj ceftriaxone, inj mannitol, inj levipil, inj pan, inj zofer, inj paracetamol, tab stamlo, tab levipil, tab pan, tab calcium, years duphalac. She has a ryle's tube and foley catheter in-situ. She was discharged with the following medication to follow: tab stamlo, tab levipil 2 times. Tab pan, years duphalac, years orofer, tab calcium and years multivitamin. Her recovery is what is making us worry. She can talk in slurred speech and very very low volume for 4-5 times a day with great trying. She cannot keep her eyes open for more than 3-4 seconds at a time, that too only 9-10 times a day upon great trying. She mostly answers by nodding her head and cannot sit upright for very long. She has some movement in her left leg and very less to negligible movement in left arm. My question is about how much time will the clot take to dissolve in the brain? How much time can it take for her to at least eat with her mouth? Why is she so tired all the time? I think the doctor has only given some basic medication, and not clot busting medication. What should be the next course of action?

Hello lybrate-user, your mother has had intracerebral hemorrhage and due to leakge of blood fro small artery in the brain. It does not require a clot buster. The prognosis and further management of patient depends upon the location and size of the blood hemorrhage (0-30 ml good prognosis, 30-60 moderate, more than 60 ml poor prognosis. The dissolving of the blood takes time but the injury which it has caused to the neurons is the one which has to improve for her recovery. Her recovery will be a slow and long process. The recovery of the patient takes time and is slow. The medicine she is getting are for hypertension (stamlo), lvipil to prevent seizures. The rest are for her nutritonal support and laxative. She has to be fed by ryles tube alternately a peg insertion can be done directly into the stomach for her feeding.

Neurologist,
Unfortunately moya moya disease cannot be cured but is manged by a set of different approaches dependent on the presentation. The medication used are anti seizure medicine to prevent seizures which have already been prescribed. Same is the case with blood thinners for which ecosporin has been prescribed in addition calcium channel blockers are also used. To me it ia apparent hat whereever you are being treated are doing a fairly scientific treatment, follow up with them and they may like to add calcium channel blockers.

Hi i'm ankit and I have been diagnosed with epilepsy by a neurologist and a good radiologist diagnosed it as a neuro cysticercosis. I have been epilepsy medicines since last 20 days like levipil, lacosam50, frisium and I think it's in control but I can feel it like it will take time. Actually I had seizures and mri report said two complete enhancing rings in right and one small in the left which were all not much big. I just wanted to ask like should I continue with these medicines for 5-6 months (like with only levipil and lacosam, not frisium) and them meet the doctor with a mri report or what should I do? I can still feel very little electrical type jerks in my head and left hand.

Neurologist,
Dear lybrate-user, you have epilepsy due to neurocysticercosis, but getting three drugs for same is not a good idea. The policy is to try to control with the maximum dose of one medicine, if seizures are still recurring than second medicine. Three medicines are rarely if ever indicated. You have not mentioned the onset and no of seizures you had and when was the last seizure. Your medication will need to be modified accordingly. Taking 3 medicines not a good idea. The time when medication will be stopped also depends upon the mri changes and last. Seizure. If you come back with these details I can guide you.
