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 Thank you for your query.
A lot of people with schizophrenia have to take more than one medicine at a time.

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!

Psychiatric medicines take longer duration to show the desired effect. They may take from 15 days to 2-3 months to get the right concentration in the blood. Kindly do not stop or alter medication yourself without asking your psychiatrist.

You need to combine medication with therapy to get the maximum benefits of both. Although this is a long term disease, and you will probably remain for long on medication you must still persevere.

But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counselings or therapy. In therapy you will le...more

If a person is taking risdone plus zapodil for schizophrenia treatment, she can not stop the medicine for life. She can only change the medicine or the dose of medicine depending on the benefit and side effects. If she is taking it for any other illness, please write all the details of it. If she is planning to have a child, let her talk to her doctor.

Dear Swapna,
If Sulpitac 100 mg alone is able to maintain your improvement, you can stop risdone ls by taking risdone 1 mg for 2 weeks and stop. But i doubt it. Your positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions may come up if you stop risdone l s.

Risdone can cause weight gain at high doses. Improve your lifestyle- diet, exercise. If you still feel that weight is going up, get lipid panel, fasting sugar and hba1c checked.
