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

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

Dear prof jagadeeshan, I got a prompt reply for my earlier query and thank you very much for the same. I have missed out a point. The antipsychotic I am taking are trinicalm forte 1-0-1 and cizorest 200 mg 1/2-0-1/2. Due to lack of proper sleep, I am taking sizopin 25 mg 0-0-1 with good results, instead of cizorest. My query is: are trinicalm forte and sizopin compatible with each other or are they contraindicated? Please confirm.

If you are stable on medications, then you shouldn't worry about it. It's a good prescription and if you are responding well, keep it going.

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

For my psychosis, I am prescribed sizopin 25 mg 0-0-1. I have told to start taking chlorpromazine 100 mg 0-0-1. Sleep is good and psychotic symptoms are under check. My query is: are these two compatible with each other or are they contraindicated? Please confirm.

Dr. Sanjay Jain91%(581 ratings)

Both of these medications are antipsychotics but also cause good sleep. Both effects are there with these medications. However sizopin 25mg is very low dose and good for sleep only, at this dose doesn't help in controlling psychotic symptoms much.

They are good drugs and can be taken together. Don't worry but consult your psychiatrist periodically to monitor the same and get blood tests done. Good luck.

Yes, these medications that you mention are compatible with each other. However you have only mentioned your psychopharmaceutical medications and left out the medications for your other conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, etc, so you may have to re frame your question or you can consult us online for further clarifications.
Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, an appointment for a confidential and priva...more

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

Decrese the anti psychotic drugs gradually, stop vertin and ativan straight away. Make olapin 10 mg and gradually in 3-4 days taper away. Follow up after that.

Asked for female, 57 years old from Chittoor

My mother is being treated for mental illness in chennai. She has been on treatment for ocd for the past 5 years. Past few months she had suffering from manic depressive psychosis. Last week we have consulted another doctor as she wasn't recovering well. Present doctor has not yet diagnosed her illness. She is currently on following medications: loxapax 25 mg (night) loxapax10 mg (morning) oleanz 5 mg (night) tho 2 mg (morning) vincomo (morning) clozapine 50 mg (night) she has been given clozapine yesterday during our consultation. She has been so restless through out the day and behaved differently last night. She had suicidal thoughts before clozapine was prescribed to her. Even though she had suicidal thoughts before ,she was active and was doing her works properly. But now my mother says she will die by not eating food, she says she has become mad and her life has been destroyed. Her thoughts have become so random. She didn't behave this way before and after our last consultation 2 days back, she has started to behave this way. She says she would not go to work and give voluntary retirement. We are not sure why she has started to behave this way from yesterday. Why did the doctor prescribe clozapine? Is it having any bad effect on her behaviour? Is she having schizophrenia? Kindly advice why is it happening this way to my mother.

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
