Dear lybrate-user,
you psychiatrist knows your diagnosis and treatment algorithms. Sizodon or quetiapine is given to augment fluoxetine and atomoxetine - not just for insomnia. They are given at low dose also. Still you need to make lifestyle changes to control your weight, sugar levels and other medical illnesses. (i don't know your age - but I know your weight as 104 kg). Don't worry about withdrawals now - it is a long way.

Consult the treating Psychiatrist before doing anything as not tablets retain their bioavailability after being crushed. The amount of medication available within the body may reduce if it is crushed and mixed with food items. Consult the treating Psychiatrist for alternative medication which is orodispersible or mixes with food.

Hi lybrate-user
I can imagine how distressing and difficult this may be for you and your family. It may be in your best interest to continue the medication prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you could take him for therapy to a licensed therapist who has substantial experience with adolescents in your city. It may be helpful for him to address his thoughts and feelings in a safe space and learn to challenge dysfunctional thoughts that trigger his symptoms and work on healthier behaviour...more

You are being treated for your ocd but I don't think it is as simple as that. You do have a serious problem otherwise too and must continue it until the doctor says to stop or reduce it. If you are in doubt, please do talk to your doctor because you have every right to know what your treatment is all about. Meet with a counselor also. Please take your parents with you to determine the possible developmental issues that may have contributed to this condition. This is a fear-based condition and fo...more

Dear user, you are too young. But due to certain reasons if you are diagnosed with depression and ocd you have to take some extra care of yourself.

Counselings is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourse...more
