Asked for male, 49 years old from Delhi

What is a antipsychotic. I was prescribed trazine -h by a psychiatrist. Later now I showed to another psychiatrist who has prescribed risperidone 1 mg. On referring the net I found that risperidone is more advanced antipsychotic than trazine h. In this regard, I needed to know what is the reality.

antipsychotic is the drug which regulates your thinking, perception and mood. also it may be used for various other reasons. The generation of antipsychotics just determines its time of invention of molecule - both of these are efficacious and good medicines.

I'm 18. I'm on sertraline 50 mg due to depression, risperidone in the morning for my anxiety, quetiapine at night to sleep. Previously I came from using risperidone at night as well to sleep which stopped working for me.

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.

Asked for male, 45 years old from Kolkata

Hi, My wife is having depression. she has been given sertraline 50 amitriptyline 25 and clonazepam 25 and risperidone 5. She has started the medication for 2 days except risperidone and she is always sleeping only she is waking up to have foods and toilet. If I start risperidone from today will she sleep 24 hrs then how can we understand that she is progressing or not. She is feeling drowsy and she is talking in a very low voice as it is very hard to hear. Is this natural?

Dr. Saranya Devanathan93%(3842 ratings)

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.

My 20 year old son is on cannabis. Won’t quit. Very adamant. Have tried counselling, etc. He has little sense of reality. He remains depressed .however my local psychiatrist has recommended him 1 mg risperidone daily. Is it ok to give risperidone even if he is on cannabis.

1. A person diagnosed with ocd, psychosis and multiple personality disorder was secretly given fludac 40 (mg) twice a day and risperidone (0.5 mg) as prescribed by the doctor (fludac for past 3 months and risperiodne for past week). Since not much effect is being seen, can risperidone dose be increased to 1 mg?

Dr. Alok Sinha

MD - Psychiatry, MBBS

Psychiatrist•Patna

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.

I have been taking olanzapine 2.5 mg for last one year along with my antidepressants to manage my ocd thoughts. But it was making me a bit emotionless so I have recently put on on risperidone 1 mg (as a starting dose). Just wanted to know how much risperidone dosage is equal to 2.5 mg olanzapine? Thank you!

Hello,
Every antipsychotic medication is equally efficacious. If there is partial response then medication dose need to be increased and if there is no response than drug is supposed to be changed. Important part being dose given at a range which is effective. Do not switch to other drug until given at required effective dosage and for required period of time.
