Do not listen to what few people who do not know about psychiatric medications tell. Discuss your concerns with your treating psychiatrist, if not convinced, get a 2nd opinion. All the best.

Dear Atul,
Nice to know that you are maintained well with 1 mg Risperidone. Pacitane is necessary, only if you have shaking of fingers, stiffness of body and too much saliva in mouth. Otherwise it is not necessary for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Dear Syed,
I don't know for what diagnosis, you are taking these tablets, at what dose and for how long. However if you are going to drink alcohol to reduce your anxiety, please take acamprosate also. It reduces the craving for alcohol!

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. I am not a morning person but once I tried this, I was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent.
Meditation was another ...more

It appears he is suffering from dementia. Adjusting his sizodon dose and managing his dementia may improve his symptoms. His forgetfulness may be the reason for his talk about theft of his items. Though there may not be complete cure for dementia, the symptoms can be minimized.

I am sure the doctor is not a psychiatrist, kindly get your son's ADHD evaluated in detail, ADHD needs to be confirmed by psychological and psychiatric evaluation and sizodon is not the drug to be used. It needs to be treated with special group of medications. Also sizodon starts from 0.5 mg to 4 mg tablet and can cause serious side effects when dosing is not done by experts, so kindly consult a nearby psychiatrist who evaluates child as well. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
They are all tablets to treat schizophrenia. But the dose depends on how much your wife improved and what kind of side effect she is having. Weight gain, sleep improvement, shakiness, salivation, stiffness, etc needs to be assessed periodically to change or alter the dose of these tablets. There are long term side effect of sizodon like prolactin elevation, metabolic syndrome, etc. These things also needs to be weighed against improvement in the follow up with the psychiat...more

Hi, this is a serious mental illness, she needs to be shown to a psychiatrist at local level and the dose of medicines should be increased till she stops hearing voices or getting suspicious about others. The current dose might be not good enough and might need to be increased.
