Sizopin 25 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 59 years old from Bangalore

Hi Sir, Sad to know that the query was mis-interpreted. I took Thioridazine for 10 long years 1987-1997 w/o any side effects & that too at a high dosage viz 200 mg for Schizophrenia. After the advent of newer drugs it was stopped, but took 25 mg 1-1-1 as a tranquilizer for some time and had to be stopped because my psychiatrist felt that it had many side effects. That is several years ago. I have got a curious question now as I wish to re-induct it solely as a tranquilizer, as Fluanxol and Sizopin are already taking care of my illness. Now there is plenty of talk reg this drug, like, it disturbs the heart rhythm, therefore, it is not freely prescribed now. It is supposed to elongate the QT interval and cause tourette de point. If the above side effects are true, confirm whether to start on it or go for something else. Kindly answer this question as early as possible. Thanks.

Ya in some cases It happens. in your case it may or may not be. It can be decided only after start of the medication with regular follow up & check up but be aware in addition to this. add counselling and psychotherapy. Thioridazine cause erectile time prolong so beware of it. Change medication and add psychotherapy so less medication will be required.

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

I am 59 years old, Schizophrenic since 1987. I was put on various drugs since then and got relief. Of late, I am having hallucinations and delusions and hence am prescribed Trinicalm Plus 1-0-1 and Sizopin 50 mg 0-0-1. There is relief. But Trifluoperazine is causing me mild itching. My Psychiatrist has told me that this drug is also an anti-histamine and hence itching might be due to something else, but to take cetrizine, if only itching persists. I am taking cetrizine 10 mg 1-0-0, since a week and there is no itching. My question is whether to continue cetrizine as long as I am on Trifluoperazine or just stop after taking for a week? Also confirm whether cetrizine has got any side effects or is it habit forming? KIndly be specific in answers.

She has always been a healthy lady (as in weight) But now we can see her veins. Please help me what should I do. What kind of tests do we need to run.

Uncontrolled sugar can also cause weight loss and also chronic smoking. Also get a chest X-ray (to rule out Tuberculosis and other chest issues) alongwith Ultrasound Abdomen.

I am on nexito 20 mg 1-0-0, trazodone 50 mg 0-0-1 for depression and cizorest 200 mg 0-0-1 and sizopin 25 mg 0-0-1 for schizophrenia. There is a lot of relief from the above drugs for the above conditions. I am put on alprazolam 0.25 1-1-1 for anxiety and panic attacks. This is only a confirmation and as a second opinion. Does alprazolam 0.25 mg 1-1-1 relieve my anxiety and panic attacks? Is it habit forming and will it harm my body in the long run? Please confirm. This question is to a qualified and a competent psychiatrist only. I am ending this paragraph as I have got great trust with your team.

Your medications are well prescribed. Alprazolam does reduce anxiety and panic attacks, and should be taken for a short term only. On a longer run, it is very much habit forming and does cause harm. All the best.

Asked for female, 29 years old from Mayurbhanj

She has been suffering from mental illness (schizophrenia) for a long time (for about 10 years). She has been taking medicines regularly. These days she is taking sizopin-100+50, luramax-40 & zolfresh-5 mg. We would like to know whether this disease is curable or only treatable. Will the patient suffer from it throughout his/life? We would be obliged if you would kindly let us know whether such patients can get married. Will marriage aggravate the illness if at all they get married? Although she is taking medicines daily, sometimes she is uttering meaningless words, she is not mixing with others and she is not interested in anything. However, sometimes she watches movies etc in mobile phones. Is better treatment available in any special hospital for such illness?

There is lot of relief from these drugs. Of late, I am put on rivotril 0.5 mg 0-1-0 and alprazolam 0.25 mg 1-1-1 as a tranquilizer cum anti-anxiety drug. My query is just a confirmation cum second opinion only. My query is :- can alprazolam and rivotril be taken together as both of them belong to a same class of medicine viz benzodiazepine? Please confirm.

It is not advisable for them to be taken together, and they are harmful on longer run too. Discuss with your psychiatrist and get things modified.

Asked for male, 22 years old from Mumbai

For the treatment of schizophrenia, I will not go for homoeopathic medicines but through ayurveda. Do I need prescription for ayurveda herbs? We can instead read the label for dosage instructions. Yes, it is confirmed by a psychiatrist (3 times) that I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and the psychiatrist (member of indian psychiatric society) prescribed me sizopin 25 mg (1/2 or 1 at 7 pm) and amisulpride 100 mg (1 0 2) on 1st november 2021 but I don’t want to start these psychiatric/allopathic medicines for the treatment of schizophrenia and prefer to opt for ayurveda herbs. And there are some psychiatrists who are trained in ayurveda, so I can seek help from such person.

Hello,
as the scientific knowledge is scanty it becomes difficult to follow psychiatric patients on ayurevedic treatment. I suggest you continue with your psychiatrist.

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

I have got depression, anxiety and schizophrenia since a long time. For depression and anxiety, I am put on nexito 20 mg 1-0-0. For schizophrenia, I am put on fluanxol 1 mg 1-0-0 and 3 mg 0-0-1, which is also a good anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs and sizopin 25 mg 0-0-1. I have just stared fluanxol, say, only since 3 days. This combination is yet to give me relief. I feel, with prolonged use, say, for 20 days, the remission will occur. My question is with prolonged use, will I get relief? This question is to a qualified and competent psychiatrist only. Please answer to the point and do not tell me to consult my psychiatrist. Please confirm.

Asked for male, 18 years old from Chennai

I am 21 years old male. While studying in college 1st and 2nd year college I studied well. In the starting of 3rd year, I went to hostel. In the hostel, anyone didn't allow me to study and misused me and they stole my things. As a result ,I got many arrears and I think why they are doing such a things to me. And I often get unwanted thoughts of suicide and I get shooting pains and unwanted shaking of body. I suffered a lot. I also have feeling that someone is watching me and controlled by someone. Then by saying to parents we went to a psychiatrist and he said that I have some mood disorders and preferred medicines such as clozapine etc. Then,whenever I went to hospital he put intramuscular injection that is Invega Sustenna. This is continued for 1 year. Due to these medications I have side effects such as dry mouth, weight gain etc. I get dreams about the friends who misused me. After taking these medicines I get unwanted thoughts but not frequently as before. How to get complete rid of unwanted thoughts? Can I stop taking medicines? Whether the side effects will go away? If not there is a solution in Ayurveda?

You are being treated for schizophrenia and it is a serious mental disease. Although this is a long time and you will probably remain so on medication you must still persevere. 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. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping m...more
