Dear user when we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way.

About one in five people who take an antidepressant for six or more weeks may experience discontinuation symptoms if they suddenly stop taking the medicine. Tapering down your medication gradually under the supervision of your health care provider can help avoid or minimize symptoms.
Let's connect over a call for further detailed consultation.

My daughter was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder and was on medication. She was taking risdone 0.5 mg twice daily, rexipra 5 mg once daily and waklert 150 once daily since she was feeling to drowsy due to risdone. Many of her problems such as irritability, anger ,concentration lack improved with medication but the major problem she is facing now is that she is unable to memorize topics inspite of giving lots of efforts though there is no understanding and concentration problem this problem makes her restless. Her doctor asked to increase dose of rexipra 5 mg from one tablet to one and half tablet and to take one tablet of cognivel with risdone and waklert also advice for counseling. Doctor also said that if she feels better she can take 2 tablets of rexipra 5 mg and 2 tablets of cognivel daily. Would these new medicines help her to memorize topics? Can she increase dose of rexipra and cognivel if feels better with initial dose? She has attend just one counseling session. She stays in hostel so she is unable to attend counseling sessions regularly. It may take long to complete counseling sessions so can she continue cognivel, rexipra, risdone and waklert till then?

May be shown can take online counseling regularly to get suita...more

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.

I have been relieved is risperidone+trihexyphenidyl hcl tablets both came under the name risdone plus (2 mg) and amisulpride 100 mg. But due to my bad habits of discontinuation of taking medicines on later the auditory hallucination keep on arising at later time, (1) can you tell me how much time will it take to completely relieved from this schizophrenia? And the sedation effect let me have a heaviness and concussions in the morning which is why my brain functioning gets slowed down to almost zero. (2) is there any other medicines to cure schizophrenia without sedation effects as I have to work also from time to time and been taking medicines for only once a day.

More than 1 year of schizophrenic illness is called chronic schizophrenia and most likely requires life long medications. Kindly get this into your mind. It is like diabetes or hypertension, a derangement in bodily metabolism, so medications needs to be taken without break for reaching near normalcy in functioning. Taking medicines regularly will lead to poor symptom (mainly hallucinations and delusions) control, long term negative and cognitive symptoms and also residual symptoms which cannot b...more
