I am 15 year old boy. I am suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Actually 2 years before my exam was going to held and I was in my study room planning to learn the sylabbus but suddenly a thought came that what will happen if I fail in the exam. I hadn't learned the sylabbus, there was only 5 days left for exam. So I was so much anxious and frightened. Actually I was feeling severe anxiety that day. Such type of severe anxiety I hadn't experienced before. Anxiety was so much much high. After severe anxiety my appetite lost, I got fever and I couldn't sleep at night. Days were passing and my condition was getting worse. From that day I feel severe anxiety and fear on a regular basis. I lost my happiness totally. I was struggling hard to be in normal state since I was feeling severe anxiety. After 1.4 year I consult a neuropsychiatric and he prescribed me flunil ip - 40 (fluoxetine) and risdone mt 0.5 (risperidone) and after that I feel a bit relief but not completely. However,i feel anxiety regularly and panic attacks. Please suggest me the treatment. Should I have take any therapy like cbt or psychotherapy to get rid of this problem completely. I don't feel happiness. My mental health condition is not good. Please help me doctor.

Yes, you are right. You need cbt therapy to manage your intrusive negative thoughts which are the cause of your anxiety. I have treated many clients with this approach.

Yes you can combine cbt with medications, the improvement will be much better. Try it, but go for proper cbt specialist, as many do not now what cbt is and claim they can do and start giving advices, which is not cbt.

My dad been treated with alcoholism and depression since last one year. he was taking Stablon 12.5,baclofen 10 ,amizep h 12.5, three times and stresnil 0.5 at night. He was good after 3 months. He was reading books. But most of the time he liked sitting and walking. He developed swelling in legs. He started to complain about pain in hands and legs. Also used to say his mind is not working well. After 6 more months he started reducing his daily doses thinking it may help. I ensured he takes at least 2 weeks to reduce any dose. Then after 2 more months he was confused. Standing for hour or sitting in washroom for hour. Wanted to go outside in midnight. Even if he just came from outside he will again like to go outside. We admitted him to psychiatrist, he was given Etizola plus 5, deven la 50 mg, baclofen 20 mg extended release, monotop 50 mg, genecephal trio in morning and excite plus, desvenlafaxine 100 mg, oliza 5, monotop 50 and felicita tab in night. after 3 months he improved in terms of going out. He go out look around himself and come back. And told us there is no one around him now. When asked he told he was seeing 5 ghost like faces earlier. Before this treatment he used to walk very fast like flying. But after this treatment he got slow. After few more days he again started to go outside. So now we went to a neurologist. He prescribed risperidone 2 mg, trihexyphenidyl 2 mg, lorazepam 2 mg, citicoline 500 mg. It really helped him. He was calm now. He started to respond faster than earlier. Memory improved. But issues still not fixed are - 1. He walk and sit like statue, not able to lift legs too much above ground. And walk straight. 2. Less control while walking specially while coming down from stairs. 3.will fall while sitting on ground and standing from ground. 4. Teary eyes as he don't blink eyes much. 5.face looks swelled. 6. Remember many things accurately but don't remember many things like his birthday. However he may remember something now but may forget when asked after few days. 7. Response is better but still slow when asked something.

Hi, I would suggest you to meet the neurologist and ask about the side effects of these medicines.
Secondly if the neurologist permits then take help of a physiotherapist. Thirdly give him some memory booster activities like puzzle book or show him many different things for one minute then hide those things. Now tell him to write the name of those things. Take him to some social club.
The side effects of medicines might have affected his memory and gait. please do not reduce and medicine...more

Dear lybrate user, 'antipsychotic' is an umbrella term which covers a large number of symptoms that are common in many psychiatric problems. Hence, doctors prescribe these drugs. Just like salt can be used for many food items, a particular medicine can be used to treat many medical conditions. Stick to your doctor's prescription without any hesitation.

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. But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counselings or therapy. In therapy you will le...more

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.

Risdone can cause weight gain at high doses. Improve your lifestyle- diet, exercise. If you still feel that weight is going up, get lipid panel, fasting sugar and hba1c checked.
