As schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder. Reducing or tappering of dosages may result in relapse. So tappering and dosage adjustment must be done under a guidance of psychiatrist only.

Health Query

I had schizophrenia and taking medicine for that. Now my condition improved and my doctor agreed it and no relapse til mow. My doctor changed medicine from amisulpride to arpizol 15 mg .i don't know why and how long should I take the medicine.

Dear lybrate-user,
as I have already answered, schizophrenia needs long term maintenance dose of tablets. Relapses are worse to treat. You have not had any relapse since you were continuously on tablets. Your doctor is reducing the tablets, its dose and to less powerful tablets like aripiprazole. Let your doctor decide how long you will be on 15 mg. Since you don't have much side effect with aripiprazole, why don't you take it till the doctor decides the maintenance dose and tablet.

Asked for male, 62 years old from Bangalore

I am suffering from depression/anxiety and schizophrenia. For depression/anxiety, I am put on nexito 20 mg 1-0-0 and for schizophrenia I am put on amisant 200 mg 0-0-1 and sizopin 50 mg 0-0-1. 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.

Unfortunately some psychiatric disorders are chronic (continuous or long-term) in nature. Just like some physical conditions like diabetes (sugar) or some kind of arthritis (pain due to inflammation of joints) which can't be permanently cured but can be controlled or managed from getting worse and reducing the symptoms like pain, fever restricted mobility in case of arthritis and dizziness, deterioration of functions of other organs like kidneys, heart, eyes etc. In cases of diabetes by means of...more

Health Query

I have been taking Soltus 300 these days. Experiencing tiredness. Not feeling active as I used to feel before. Since I am under medication since a very long time so decided to stop taking medicines from now on. My Dr. wanted to stop my medications 3-4 months back. But since we didn't wanted to take risk since schizophrenia might relapse so we didn't stopped taking at that time. I am under treatment since January 2017. Gained lot of weight in this period of 21 months around 14 kgs. Should I stop taking medicine or should I consult my Dr. before that.

Dear Aishwarya,
You can stop taking medicines and let some family member know it. Let that member watch you for early warning signs of relapse. Restart the tablets before you become un co operative and consult the doctor.
Discuss with the family whether this is the best time to stop medicines. Relapse may come after many weeks of stopping, not necessarily immediately.
Start dieting and exercise to reduce your weight.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Kishtwar

Anxiety started from january 2018. Initially doctor prescribed me fluvoxamine 100 and amisulpride 50. Later as anxiety increased and dpdr and obsessive thoughts started so my doctor increased dose with clomipramine, fluvoxamine amisulpride and etizolam. Later etijolam was stopped but in winter 2018 I started feeling low so in feb 2019 bupropion was added. Currently I am on clomipramine 75 mg (twice, fluvoxamine 100 mg (twice), amisulpride 50 mg (night) and bupron xl 300 (morning). I am feeling little bit low in this winter again (i had no psychiatric problem before january 2018) and my memory has not improved to its initial level (like it was before january 2018. I struggle in recalling the work done in last 3 to 5 days. Though major event of past I remember but recent past, its some time difficult to recall. What should I do?

Mood disorder with obsessive symptoms are a challenge to treat. Discuss with your psychiatrist and try to attain maximal functioning. If not possible get a second opinion from as astute psychiatrist. Good luck.

Koi mushkil nehi. But be in touch wth psychiatrist every 2 months at least so that he can optimise the dose.

Asked for Male, 18 years old from Kolkata

I have been suffering from depression for the past two years. I have been taking amisulpride 50 mg sustained release tablets for about a year and a half now. I don't see any improvement. Is the tablet not good enough for curing depression or is depression incurable? Do I need to keep taking meds my whole life?

Dr. Jagadeesan M.S.94%(13332 ratings)

MD - Psychiatry

Psychiatrist•Chennai

It is not a primary antidepressant, so I am not sure why the doctor gave it. Kindly consult a psychiatrist and get proper antidepressants for proper recovery. It is surprising you took it for year and half with no improvement. All the best.
