It is not advisable to take clozapine only for Sleep. There are several other alternatives to use to improve sleep especially if you find risperidone is helping to improve your condition and there are no major side effects. If so Please stay on risperidone and ask your Psychiatrist to add sleeping tablet.

Dear thanks for asking your querry here. You concern is genuine. For psychosis the dose of risperidone is less. But the dose of fludac for ocd is ok. I am not aware about current psychotic symptoms of your brother. If still he has delusion or hallucoinations, you may ask for a review by his psychiatrist who may consider increasing the dose of risperidone.

Dear lybrate-user,
ensure max protein, even though it offers the convenience of a ready-to-drink shake and contains 30 grams of protein there is 1 gram of sugar per serving. It would be better to use a natural source of proteins like soya, egg white, fish or chicken. All commercial protein powders have some sugar in them
