Risperidone Health Feed

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!

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.

You have to continue that under psychiatrist advise and supervision and not on your own. All the best.

Although this is a long time and you will probably remain so on medication you must still persevere. Schizophrenia is a very complex and difficult disease to treat, even with medication. All psychotropic medicines have side-effects: that is inescapable. But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counseling or therapy. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping mechanisms and techniques to remain functional and lead a close-to-normal lif...more

No, Do not use those medicines.

Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Sizodon 0.5 mg tablet belongs to the drug group known as atypical antipsychotic, used in the treatment of psychotic disorders. This medication can treat schizophrenia and manic depression, both symptoms of bipolar disorder. It is also used for treating irritability symptoms in children suffering from autism.
I suggest telephonic counseling for you.

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.

I don't think sizodon has any impact on our immune system. There is some confusion about the medications by pediatrician. You could continue medications without doubt and there could be other reasons for kids i'll health which needs evaluation. I would suggest you to take a second opinion about fever and other health issues. If at all you have to discontinue sizodon. You can stop it gradually by making it 0.25 ml for a week or so and then stop.

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
