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

My daughter is 21 years old diagnosed with severe stress and was prescribed to take 0.5 mg risdone twice daily but her condition was not improve much and felt sleepiness throughout the day and unable to concentrate in studies so doctor asked to take rexipra 5 mg along with risdone and she started feeling much better and able to focus but problem of drowsiness remained so doctor her reduced her dose of risdone to 0.5 mg once daily and asked to take wakelert 150 mg if too much sleepiness is there. But after new dose she started feeling dull and there was feeling of some unexplained uneasiness in mind and was not able to focus though waklert was keeping her awake so doctor asked to stop risdone and observe but her mental health deteriorated with problem of breathlessness so doctor again asked to start risdone 0.5 mg once a day but she found that risdone 0.5 mg twice a day along with rexipra 5 mg is very helpful for her but there is problem of too much drowsiness so she needs to take waklert regularly. What should she do now? Should she continue risdone 0.5 mg twice daily with rexipra 5 mg and waklert 150?

Dear sir please continue the medication as prescribed and it is advisable not to adjust the dose of wakalert by herself but speak to her psychiatrist. Also, both risdon and rexipra can be taken once a day, so discuss with your psychiatrist if she can take 1 mg risdon and 10 mg rexipra as a single dose in evening instead of twice a day and see if drowsiness reduces.

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.
You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. ...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.

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.

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.
