Sizodon 1 MG Tablet Health Feed

Dear Lybrate user,
its good that your husband is responding to treatment. Side effects are inevitable part of any treatment. However we can find ways to reduce them by modifying the medicines and adding on counselling. Don't worry. Feel assured. Fix an appointment with a psychiatrist either in person or through tele consultation. You will get appropriate guidance.

Pacitane is given along with respidon for a particular reason, so take as per psychiatrist advise. It will keep you active. All the best.

Hi, Try to avoid mixing it in any liquid like tea or colas as it may affect the absorption of the drug.

The medications are fine, but your hallucinations are not controlled. So you need a revision of prescription, consult your psychiatrist. He will be able to help u. If all 4 years the symptoms have not remitted, with adequate dosage, there are medications for resistant hallucinations. All the best.

Dear Sir Thank you for your query.

Hi lybrate-user
risnia is used in multiple health conditions with varying doses depending on the diagnosis, age of the person, response to the medication, adverse effects experienced/expected and lot more factors. It's in your best interest if you consult a nearby psychiatrist in-person who can assess you and guide further regarding the need for medication and appropriate dosing and future optimization of same.
I wish you stay happy and healthy!

All anti-psychotic medications can potentially cause some memory problems or cognitive decline in long term. But the effects of sizodon (risperidone) for your condition far outweigh the side-effect profile in most cases, and thus it is best to continue with the medication as per your psychiatrist's advice. You can always discuss any concerns or possible adverse effects with your prescribing doctor and he/she will guide you best. Hope this helps!

It is not clear what you mean. Risperdal is not a disease and is a medicine given for mental illness. Please ask clearly.

It can be taken for long duration 2 to 5 years but monitoring should be by psychiatrist. Long term side effect of antipsychitics are tardive dyskinesia ,metabolic syndrome & weight gain etc so proper follow psychiatrist.

Dear lybrate user,
There is no difference in their mechanism of action. Sizodon is absorbed in the stomach and intestines before getting into blood stream whereas sizodon MD dissolves in the mouth itself and works the same way as sizodon does, if it is put in the mouth. Nothing to worry. Both are same.
