Hi lybrate-user I think you should contact your doctor for these changes. 5 mg of axepta may not really help with anything. You should reduce risperidone further if you want but continue the axepta. Once again, refer to and trust your child’s doctor on this one
hope this helps

Discuss your current symptoms with your psychiatrist; it is possible they will make changes in the medications or doses which will improve your symptoms. I also suggest you go for regular counseling to help you cope with daily stressors. Confide in a supportive friend or family member who will help you get through this. Set goals for yourself and work towards them. If you are feeling suicidal please consult a psychiatrist immediately.

Dear lybrate-user,
Yes, with Dicorate e r 1 gm and qutipin s r 100 itself, it will settle down. Please consult your doctor about increase of dose. Dicorate will be 20 mg/lg body weight. Qutipin according to your symptom control and sedation. Since I don't know your weight and the type of work you do as a nurse, only your doctor can make change of dose, if necessary.
