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 to improve cognitive skills. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping mechanisms and techniques to remain functional and lead a close-to-normal life. You will also learn about emotions and how they can impact your condit...more

Hello. Consult a psychiatrist in person. Your mother will require a mental health assessment including investigations (if required) and treatment review. If she is not showing any improvement then either drug dose needs to be optimized or a new drug will be introduced. Thanks.

I really wonder why are you on so many medication for a single problem. If you are having only depression, then you should be on one medication but in good doses.

I am 16 years old boy and I am suffering from deep brain damage disorder due to late night studies and nightouts during exams before 2 years. This is second time i'm writing to you .i completed 10th class with 9.7 gpa points. This is the time informed my father about my brain is not functioning properly .my brain used to stop for at least 2 hours a day and also during exam my hand used to stop, hand writing changes ,cannot think properly, cannot imagine the answer. After however I completed my exams using tablets *sulpitac *clonazem then psychiatrist changed my course with tablets *schidon plus hcl then slowly my brain functioning decreased day by day and due to this tablets I used to sleep for many hours .then one day I forgot to take tablets and my mind fully changed that it stopped working like my thoughts ,imagination, interest,talking inside heart all feelings also stopped. Again I started swallowing tablets but no change appeared. Upto to now it is 10 months that my brain stopped functioning. I tried many tablets like *stalopam, ampicon *daxid ,amsyc *and many more tablets for depression ,psychosis etc now I am taking tablets like risperidone, trihexyphenidyl hcl .because the doctor informed me that this is psychosis. My symptoms are like *lack of thoughts ,imagination ,interest or pleasure in activities, no proper sleep,*i am roaming at small place 24 hrs *there are no feelings at all for me *there are no problems like fever, cough,malaria or cold from 10 months or during this disorder. *this is winter but i'm not getting cold and no feeling. *hair became rough and when apply oil its soaking inside fastly. *my growth also stopped. *disorders in masticating food and vomiting, headache. *i am not to judge good or bad *i'm taking less food now than before *i'm not able to study ,understand ,focus, concentrate so I have quit this year for college. There is no feeling at all.*i'm getting thoughts of suicide and also quit this life. Doctors are telling this is psychosis ,i'm telling that my brain has stopped working, you are saying this depression. I want to take ect treatment once to stimulate my brain. I tried many tablets but no response .now i'm even getting thoughts of suicide and even I attempt to make suicide .please say that if ect works or not for my problems ,no one understanding my brain problem .even doctors also. I say this brain damage is due to lack of sleep at nights. Now what I should do? Doctors say this is psychosis but i'm not getting hallucinations and delusions and also i'm aware of my behaviour my outside behavior is good but inside its like a mix of jaundice ,malaria ,typhoid ,etc. I even tried tablets for depression for so many months but no response to this tablets. Should it is correct to take ect?

Dear Yubaraj,
Your wife may be having psychotic symptoms also along with depression. Amitriptyline and clonazepam have side effect of sedation. However she is taking rest and getting up for food and toilet. She would have got used to these drugs in 2 days. Now you can give risperidone also. Risperidone does not come as 5. Maybe it is 0.5.
However discuss with your doctor about drowsiness without stopping the drug. You should weigh whether drowsiness is worse or her symptoms are worse.

It is not advisable to take clozapine only for Sleep. There are several other alternatives to use to improve sleep especially if you find risperidone is helping to improve your condition and there are no major side effects. If so Please stay on risperidone and ask your Psychiatrist to add sleeping tablet.
