Risnia 1 MG Tablet Health Feed

Yes you can give him risperidone along with cannabis use. It will help him in normalize his behavior. All the best

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.

No need to take Antipsychotic in 1 st episode of ocd...it can be treated only one SSRI except Resistant ocd or more then two episode.

The medication which causes drowsiness is risdon, so you may consider taking risdon 1 mg in night only rather than taking 0.5mg twice. Yes you may change the dose of waklert as per requirement as it is only given for drowsiness so the dose can be adjusted accordingly. All the best

Dear Syed,
I don't know for what diagnosis, you are taking these tablets, at what dose and for how long. However if you are going to drink alcohol to reduce your anxiety, please take acamprosate also. It reduces the craving for alcohol!

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. I am not a morning person but once I tried this, I was surprised how good this made me feel.
