Dear lybrate-user,
schizophrenia is a chronic lifelong disorder. The drugs need to be given for a long term. Since your brother is young, he needs rehabilitation from now itself along with drugs. Sometimes he is bad means, that family has high expressed emotions. Continuous drugging is important - otherwise relapse will occur. Relapses take longer time to bring him under control. All these can not be done with your visit to bangalore or vellore. There is no one time cure. Your own psychiatri...more

We understand your situation however is not advisable to take medications on your own by self-medication. We are glad if you are not self-medicating, however would like to let you know that clonotril and serenace are not the same group of medications. To answer your questions a. Yes, clonotril will reduce your anxiety and so will serenace, but clonotril is more effective if anxiety is due to worries or other reasons that do not involve psychosis. And b. Using serenace is not contraindicated alon...more

Dear Lybrate doctor, I need not have to tell you about my mental condition and the drugs taken to counter them, since I have elaborated them in my previous texts. You have been very patient in answering queries, not bothering about the times I ask them. I have a lot of trust in you and my queries are purely a second opinion detail, before being thrown into the fray right away. Depression and anxiety are taken care of by nexito forte & clonotril .25 mg and hence there are no issues here. The main problem is to find a suitable combination to counter my schizophrenia. As mentioned to you in my previous queries, I have tried so many combinations, some with relief and some found wanting. Due to financial constraints, I am unable to afford for costly drugs. The latest combination goes this way:- 1)trinicalm plus 1-0-1. 2)sizopin 75 mg 0-0-1. This combination is cheap and hence affordable. My query is:- can this combination be taken together or either they are contraindicated or there will be any drug interactions. Also, highlight me about trifluoperazine (trinicalm plus), it’s uses, side effects and drug interactions. At present, for depression/anxiety, I am on nexito forte along with clonotril 0.25 mg and sizopin and cizorest for schizophrenia. There is relief please answer my queries. Thanks.

It is not clear as to what medications you are currently taking. Is it cizorest or trinicalm? In both cases there are no drug interactions and if you have any it would be an isolated or rare event. I however would like for you to consult your psychiatrist regarding any issues that you may have. You are also welcome to consult us online.
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 ...more
