Dear Sir Thank you for your query.
A lot of people with schizophrenia have to take more than one medicine at a time. The treatment prescribed to a person depends on a lot of factors like the severity of illness and response to medications. More than one medicine can be taken at a time for schizophrenia. However, the medications should be taken as prescribed by your psychiatrist. So please continue the Medication as prescribed by your psychiatrist as he is aware of your history and if you hav...more

All anti-psychotic medications can potentially cause some memory problems or cognitive decline in long term. But the effects of sizodon (risperidone) for your condition far outweigh the side-effect profile in most cases, and thus it is best to continue with the medication as per your psychiatrist's advice. You can always discuss any concerns or possible adverse effects with your prescribing doctor and he/she will guide you best. Hope this helps!

Hello sir, problems- aggressiveness, short tempered, no calmness, very emotionalistic, taking to much stress in little things. I even have just a few symptoms of compulsive repetitive disorder (like I have kept my phone in the bag but im checking twice whether its there or not. And this doesn't happen all the time but yes I do have symptoms). Even if I talk maturely I still behave immaturely in certain topics (when in dispute with mom or when I am angry on something) and im taking meds prescribed by my doctor.in my first visit my doctor gave me - 1) nervon forte 2) pari cr 12.5 3) clonil 10 4) librax (because my stomach wasn't good. I took that for 1 month, then stopped) then I explained her my 2 month situation (in the 1st month I was feeling better but after that I was again like that ,meaning - low confidence ,stress, anger, mood swings, negativity mind, stomach issue etc .so she changed my meds - 1) nervon forte 2) pari cr plus 12.5 3) sizodon mt 0.5 4) librax (sos). All at night once a day. Then I continued it for 1 month and now I told her that the meds weren't suiting me well because im seeing no difference, she changed ny meds - 1) nervon forte - once at night 2) take sizodon / risdone 1 mg.- once at night 3) lonazep 0.5 mg - once at night this I have just started to take it from 5 days and my head is spinning im not well at all. Now I do not know my head is spinning and paining because of sinus or the medicines. My doctor has now told me to stop nervon forte and continue the other two. Please help me out. Is the medicines correct?

Your doctor has been reviewing your medications on the basis of the symptoms you are experiencing every time. But my concern is that you have not been seeking the help of a counselor to explore the psychological and emotional angle to recover from your condition. You are being treated for a fairly serious disorder and need combination therapy to substantiate the medical approach. I can see that although you mention a lot about your anger, there is what seems to be a huge problem with fear. I bel...more

You are being treated for your ocd but I don't think it is as simple as that. You do have a serious problem otherwise too and must continue it until the doctor says to stop or reduce it. If you are in doubt, please do talk to your doctor because you have every right to know what your treatment is all about. Meet with a counselor also. Please take your parents with you to determine the possible developmental issues that may have contributed to this condition. This is a fear-based condition and fo...more

Dear sir, I am very sorry to hear about your dilemma. Sizodon syrup is a antipsychotic medication. It is approved for treating hyperactivity, irritability, self-injurious behaviour in autism spectrum disorder. As with any other medication, sizodon also has side effects, most commonly weight gain and sedation. The decision of whether or not to continue with risperidone therapy depends on the benefits you are experiencing vs the side effects if any.
Hope this adrresses your concern.

hi,

your daughter is 7 yrs old . assuming that she is more than 20 kgs we have to calculate the dosage. in your query it is mentioned as hypertension , but i think it is hyperactivity .

risperidone is generally safe in children. the dosage you mentioned is from drops . it is better to give tablet in 7 yrs of age . we have to start from lower dose (0.5 mg ) and we should increase gradually to reach the desired goal.

the common side effect will be sleepiness. so you c...more

Dear Aishwarya,
Aggressiveness may be a part of your paranoid schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia needs to be treated with antipsychotics. There are many different types of antipsychotic available. One had to try few of them before deciding the proper drug and dose. May be soltus 200 did not work that well the doctor changed to risperidone (risdone plus)
Once your paranoid ideas come down, the aggressiveness will be controlled. Please continue treatment and consult the doctor repeatedly.

Dear Shadab,
Nice to know that you are concerned about your father. High cholesterol levels cause ischemia that can cause slowness.
Another possibility is there, please check on it. Is he taking Risdone plus (containing both Risperidone and THP) or Risdone (only risperidone). If he took risdone without THP, he might have got little risperidone induced parkinson. It might have slowed him down. Probably in the native place, risdone plus was not available.
