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 counseling or therapy to improve cognitive skills. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping mechanisms and techniques to remain functional and lead a close-to-normal life. You will also learn about emotions and how they can impact your condit...more

My daughter is 21 years old diagnosed with severe stress and was prescribed to take 0.5 mg risdone twice daily but her condition was not improve much and felt sleepiness throughout the day and unable to concentrate in studies so doctor asked to take rexipra 5 mg along with risdone and she started feeling much better and able to focus but problem of drowsiness remained so doctor her reduced her dose of risdone to 0.5 mg once daily and asked to take wakelert 150 mg if too much sleepiness is there. But after new dose she started feeling dull and there was feeling of some unexplained uneasiness in mind and was not able to focus though waklert was keeping her awake so doctor asked to stop risdone and observe but her mental health deteriorated with problem of breathlessness so doctor again asked to start risdone 0.5 mg once a day but she found that risdone 0.5 mg twice a day along with rexipra 5 mg is very helpful for her but there is problem of too much drowsiness so she needs to take waklert regularly. What should she do now? Should she continue risdone 0.5 mg twice daily with rexipra 5 mg and waklert 150?

Dear sir please continue the medication as prescribed and it is advisable not to adjust the dose of wakalert by herself but speak to her psychiatrist. Also, both risdon and rexipra can be taken once a day, so discuss with your psychiatrist if she can take 1 mg risdon and 10 mg rexipra as a single dose in evening instead of twice a day and see if drowsiness reduces.

I really wonder why are you on so many medication for a single problem. If you are having only depression, then you should be on one medication but in good doses.

Good morning,
We now have medications that do not have the same side effects of the medication for schizophrenia that you mention. I believe you brother needs to switch either gradually from the medication that he is currently on to a more benign although potent medication. An expert psychiatrist is who you need to consult. I believe this can be done online since a ​change in medications can be monitored for tolerability and effects as usual since you already have experience with the medicat...more

Dear Yubaraj,
Your wife may be having psychotic symptoms also along with depression. Amitriptyline and clonazepam have side effect of sedation. However she is taking rest and getting up for food and toilet. She would have got used to these drugs in 2 days. Now you can give risperidone also. Risperidone does not come as 5. Maybe it is 0.5.
However discuss with your doctor about drowsiness without stopping the drug. You should weigh whether drowsiness is worse or her symptoms are worse.

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.
