Dear lybrate-user,
the patient has two manifestation or major neurologic symptoms dystonia and now paranoia and hallucinations. As he was started on pacitane (trihexiphenidyl) for dystonia then he developed neuropsychiatric complaints. I would like to explain all the symptoms due to a single cause rather than bring in a new diagnosis. Pacitane has side effect of hallucinations and paranoid behaviour. That may be the cause rather than schizophrenia, I suggest taper pacitane and see the result...more

Hello,
It seems that the diagnosis of schizophrenia has been confirmed and she has placed on medication. there is an urgent need for her to continue the medication and schizophrenia needs to be controlled. IVF can be carried out at the same time. But remember that medication for schizophrenia is must for her. there is no definite proof as yet that resperidone can harm the fetus and it shouyld be used as the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to fetus

Dear Lybrate user
ocd is a psychological disorder and it has psychological (mental and emotional causes) and many times patients are just managing the issues with medicines as the actual root causes are not resolved.

I am 21 years old male. While studying in college 1st and 2nd year college I studied well. In the starting of 3rd year, I went to hostel. In the hostel, anyone didn't allow me to study and misused me and they stole my things. As a result ,I got many arrears and I think why they are doing such a things to me. And I often get unwanted thoughts of suicide and I get shooting pains and unwanted shaking of body. I suffered a lot. I also have feeling that someone is watching me and controlled by someone. Then by saying to parents we went to a psychiatrist and he said that I have some mood disorders and preferred medicines such as clozapine etc. Then,whenever I went to hospital he put intramuscular injection that is Invega Sustenna. This is continued for 1 year. Due to these medications I have side effects such as dry mouth, weight gain etc. I get dreams about the friends who misused me. After taking these medicines I get unwanted thoughts but not frequently as before. How to get complete rid of unwanted thoughts? Can I stop taking medicines? Whether the side effects will go away? If not there is a solution in Ayurveda?

But I suspect that you are depending entirely on medication when in reality you need to combine it with counseling or therapy. In therapy you will learn a lot of coping m...more
