Psychiatric medicines take longer duration to show the desired effect. They may take from 15 days to 2-3 months to get the right concentration in the blood. Kindly do not stop or alter medication yourself without asking your psychiatrist.

You need to combine medication with therapy to get the maximum benefits of both. Although this is a long term disease, and you will probably remain for long on medication you must still persevere. Schizophrenia is a very complex and difficult disease to treat, even with medication. All psychotropic medicines have side-effects: that is inescapable.

If a person is taking risdone plus zapodil for schizophrenia treatment, she can not stop the medicine for life. She can only change the medicine or the dose of medicine depending on the benefit and side effects. If she is taking it for any other illness, please write all the details of it. If she is planning to have a child, let her talk to her doctor.

Schizophrenia is a lifelong disease and the treatment is good for her and must be continuously monitored by the doctor. However, I advise you to take her for therapy as well to provide her with skills and techniques to understand her condition and the measures she can take to have a relatively fulfilling life. This combination will help her tremendously but do not expect great changes. It will be a gradual process but somewhat rewarding. I commend you for having lived with her and helped her thi...more

Psychological help is usually underestimated along with the psychiatric help. Insomnia is a resultant of stressful thought pattern. Seek a Counseling session. The more you work hard to sleep, the more difficult it will be.
