He should not sleep that much. Itis time you visited your doctor again and inform him of this development. Schizophrenia can be a very crippling disease, if treatment is tampered with by amateurs or by lay people. You must strictly follow doctor’s instructions. If you push the expectation on him, you may reverse all the benefits, inadvertently. Instead of worrying about changing medication, I recommend that you put him on some counseling along with the medication. This will help him develop copi...more

Good morning,
We now have medications that do not have the same side effects of the medication for schizophrenia that you mention. I believe you brother needs to switch either gradually from the medication that he is currently on to a more benign although potent medication. An expert psychiatrist is who you need to consult. I believe this can be done online since a change in medications can be monitored for tolerability and effects as usual since you already have experience with the medicat...more

Dear Lybrate user,
its good that your husband is responding to treatment. Side effects are inevitable part of any treatment. However we can find ways to reduce them by modifying the medicines and adding on counselling. Don't worry. Feel assured. Fix an appointment with a psychiatrist either in person or through tele consultation. You will get appropriate guidance.

If your psychiatrist says, it is due to anxiety. Please believe it and deal with your anxiety in non medical methods. If he says that these medicines don't have side effect, like difficulty in passing urine. There may be other reasons for your difficulty which gets precipitated by any medicine. I don't know your age. But I know you are a man. It may be due to prostate enlargement. Why don't you consult an urologist or get one ultrasound abdomen and pelvis with measurement ...more

Dear lybrate-user,
If you are unable to tolerate any drug for OCD, please go in for cognitive therapy with exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP). It will be done on many weekly sessions by a clinical psychologist or CBT trained psychiatrist. If one of your friends or family joins as co therapist, it will be easy for you to do the homeworks in therapy. It can be done online also. You are young and suffering for long - don't allow your OCD and social phobia to spoil your future. Take ...more

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.
