Although I am not entirely sure about the benefits of the molecules that you mention, since it is an amino acid there should be no side effects of glycine. If the patient is having auditory hallucination despite being on medication alkepin 200 mg daily, it might be helpful to make dose adjustments or to add augmentative or adjuvant therapeutic measures that target the core symptoms in addition to trying out glycine.

Dear Shahdab,
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 about h...more

All typical antipsychotics are effective, some more than others mainly due to the side effect profile.

Dear Nagaprasad,
It is nice of you to know about your mother's behaviour and diagnosis. Whenever you change the doctor, it is better to take the summary of treatment from the previous doctor. The recent doctor has not yet diagnosed her. It takes time and observation to diagnose mental disorders. OCD symptoms may occur in both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Let us wait for the doctor to diagnose your mother's condition. Or request your previous doctor to talk to new doctor so that the di...more

Hello,
I being a neurologist its difficult to comment on the problem you are facing. But my sincere advise will to get hold of a decent psychiatrist or a institute/medical college with a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You should not neglect it and these can be treated. At the moment you seem to be getting a cocktail of medicines and this needs to be relooked at for better treatment.

Hello friend, good day. I can understand your concern about long term medication and its side effects. Be aware that medicine alone cannot treat such problems. It can help only to address certain symptoms feel better. In parallel, your brother needs a lot of non medical treatment plans including psychotherapy or mindset changes techniques, relaxation techniques, excercise routine, lifestyle changes, dietary changes and regular counseling guidance. In am not sure, how many of these been recommend...more

If you have hallucinations, delusions, social and emotional withdrawal and thought disturbances, you should have schizophrenia. Anxiety and depression are part of schizophrenia. Your psychiatrists' diagnosis is final and let his treat you and please work with your psychiatrist for a cure.
