The choice of antipsychotic lies on treating doctor. Medicines are chosen based on patient profile and side effects. Both are good. If on Skizoril you have get repeat blood count done. Both cause wight gain .so diet and exercise is essential. Don't stop medicine yourself.

I have schizophrenia and I don’t feel like to do regular exercise nowadays. On 29th october 2021 and 1st november 2021, a psychiatrist diagnosed me 3 times with schizophrenia and prescribed me second line of treatment (sizopin – clozapine 25 mg at 7 pm and amisulpride 100 mg - freq. 1 0 2) but I did’t start the allopathic treatment for schizophrenia and opted for natural home remedies, and watching sandeep maheshwari videos for positive affirmations. Is there cure for schizophrenia? Is recovery possible? Does medicines useful for schizophrenia? If yes, then which one? Ayurveda/unani, homoeopathy, or allopathic? If no, then what about psychological counselling? Many schizophrenia patients are taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 – 12 years but not relief. Any comment on this? I think medicines alone cannot treat schizophrenia because medicines cannot alter behaviour. Is schizophrenia a lifelong mental health issue? What are the causes of schizophrenia so that the root cause treatment can be find out? Clinical psychologist advised me not to watch negative programs like c.i.d, crime patrol and saavdhaan india. Which foods should be avoid in schizophrenia case patient? What should a schizophrenic person do to improve his/her condition? I am 22 years old male as of 2021. So am I too young to diagnose with schizophrenia? Why there are no lab tests to diagnose schizophrenia? Why so many doctors’ perspective/opinion about schizophrenia differ? Why some of the antipsychotic medicines for schizophrenia banned in some places? Is there a high chance of suicide for schizophrenia patients after the treatment because after the treatment, they may feel guilty and thus prone to suicide? Am I right or am I right? At the most, what will happen to a schizophrenic people who is not receiving allopathic treatment? Awaiting your reply. Thank you.

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.

Dear lybrate-user,
with clozapine 600 mg alone, if you were good, your psychiatrist would not have added amisulpride. Please talk to your psychiatrist and the family member who accompanies you, about how good you were with clozapine 600 mg. By the way, amisulpride must be 100 mg - not 10 mg as you have mentioned.

Dear lybrate-user,
Nice to know that your brother recovered 80%.
He has to continue Alkepin for life. He has to periodically go for check ups with the psychiatrist for side effect like weight gain, blood counts, diabetes, lipids, etc.
Apart from the tablets, he has to slowly start building skills of socialisation, interpersonal communication, work habits, personal grooming, etc. If he is already working, try and talk to his supervisor about his disorder so that they get counselled ab...more

If you have been stabilized with amisulpiride and sizopin , its better to continue the same treatment. if you have any side effects or if there is no improvement, then only you think of changing the medication. As such paliperidone has no serious side effects but can cause stiffness of muscles and shaking in some pts.
