Hello Lybrate-User,
It is nice of you to think about your brother's behaviour. He may be suffering from a psychosis with no insight into his condition. In such psychosis, the person does not want medicines. Treating him without his consent, can be discussed with the psychiatrist. There are many ways to get him into treatment. There are dispersible tablets, liquids and long acting injectables of risperidone available.

The psychiatrist has suggested correctly about the medication. Low dose sizodon (risperidone) is used for children with autism and behavioral problems. Try to get hold of a mot pediatrics (pediatric occupational therapist) and a team of psychiatrist/ clinical psychologist/ ot and speech therapist for multimodal treatment of autism. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user,
bipolar disorder needs to be treated with mood stabilisers. Doubt alone cannot be a psychotic symptom unless it is fixed and irrational. Please consult your psychiatrist again before giving sizodon tablets. Risperidone (sizodon) is available as drops and dispersible tablets. This is for your information.

Dear lybrate-user,
you psychiatrist knows your diagnosis and treatment algorithms. Sizodon or quetiapine is given to augment fluoxetine and atomoxetine - not just for insomnia. They are given at low dose also. Still you need to make lifestyle changes to control your weight, sugar levels and other medical illnesses. (i don't know your age - but I know your weight as 104 kg). Don't worry about withdrawals now - it is a long way.

Consult the treating Psychiatrist before doing anything as not tablets retain their bioavailability after being crushed. The amount of medication available within the body may reduce if it is crushed and mixed with food items. Consult the treating Psychiatrist for alternative medication which is orodispersible or mixes with food.

Some patients require Trihexyphenidyl some do not. Its better that you discuss its need with your treating Psychiatrist. As far as lifetime treatment goes your treating Doctor must be knowing your course of illness in past 20 years and so it's best that you go with his advice regarding the type of medicine as well as the dose.
