I'm sorry to hear that you have been distressed and the medication is not helping. It might be helpful to consult your psychiatrist to change the dosage or medication because sometimes, some medicines are not the best fit for some individuals. In case the concerns persist, it can sometimes be helpful to get another opinion. Also, please consult a psychologist because medication alone may not be sufficient for treating anxiety and depression.
Hope you find the help that you need.

Dear Lybrate user, At your age, Memory problems like amnesia are not common. Many young people are having problems with memory. These problems are either they are too busy or due to anxiety and stress. Busy people use organizers or employ a personal assistant because they can't remember every task. You need to understand this. If you still say, you are having memory problems, we need to check your memory using memory test. If you want more of my help in this regard, please contact me. Take care.

You must go and meet with a counselor immediately and you must cooperate to your utmost with both. Please visit these professionals along with your parents. In the meantime please do the following sincerely because you could resolve the problem better with good cooperation: Have a good night’s sleep, have a good breakfast of more proteins, meditate often...more

If 2.5 ml of 1 ml/mg risdone is given for short period like a month or so, it would not cause any major side effects. Prolonged use may increase weight, bl. Sugar, cholesterol etc. So get her lipid profile, HbA1c and Lft checked.

The medication which causes drowsiness is risdon, so you may consider taking risdon 1 mg in night only rather than taking 0.5mg twice. Yes you may change the dose of waklert as per requirement as it is only given for drowsiness so the dose can be adjusted accordingly. All the best

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.
