Dear Ashok,
It is difficult to live with dementia. For you it is difficult to see her without talking or overtalking. At the age of 81 years most of her systems work less efficiently. You have to learn to use trial and error method to adjust drugs's dose.
For the time being, please continue Donamem. Try and stop Sizodon. Manage her with trika. If she is hyper, give her again Sizodon 0.5 mg once a day, probably at night when you don't want her to be hyper.
Please check any other medic...more

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.

It appears he is suffering from dementia. Adjusting his sizodon dose and managing his dementia may improve his symptoms. His forgetfulness may be the reason for his talk about theft of his items. Though there may not be complete cure for dementia, the symptoms can be minimized.

I am sure the doctor is not a psychiatrist, kindly get your son's ADHD evaluated in detail, ADHD needs to be confirmed by psychological and psychiatric evaluation and sizodon is not the drug to be used. It needs to be treated with special group of medications. Also sizodon starts from 0.5 mg to 4 mg tablet and can cause serious side effects when dosing is not done by experts, so kindly consult a nearby psychiatrist who evaluates child as well. All the best.

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.

It is advisable to have healthy m...more

Lybrate-user: People suffering from schizophrenia should take their medications daily. Occasional use can lead to emergence of symptoms. Clozapine especially is a medication that should only be taken under supervision of a physician with very regular blood work to make sure WBC count (cells that fight infection) are not getting too low.

Do not listen to what few people who do not know about psychiatric medications tell. Discuss your concerns with your treating psychiatrist, if not convinced, get a 2nd opinion. All the best.
