My younger brother has been suffering from schizophrenia .earlier he was in amazeo 500, risdon plus, depranex 15 mg, rivotril .25 mg ,bexol 2 mg during the time he was taking these medicines his hallucinations ,extreme violent attitude reduced totally. But developed bit of fearfulness feeling. We shifted to another psychiatrist and he prescribed risdon 3 twice a day, trinicalm plus twice a day, clonazepam (petril md .25 mg) at night, fluoxetine (prodep) 40 mg in the morning. But during these medicines right now he is developing weird behavior like hallucinations, suspicion on some people, violent attitude and extreme anger. I want to know why under these current medicines he is developing these behaviors? Is he required to replace the current medicines by some other ones? I doubt that trinicalm plus has not been successful to reduce his hallucinations n violent behavior. Because in earlier medicines his weird behavior, extreme violent attitude totally reduced. Please help me.

Dear lybrate-user, nice to know that you are trying in every way to help abhijit. Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder. Symptoms vary at different times. I don't know the reasons of shifting to another psychiatrist. But the new psychiatrist also will come to some favourable combination of drugs to help abhijit free from disturbing symptoms. Amazeo is newer addition to other antipsychotics (risdon plus and trinicalm plus) to treat resistant schizophrenia. Because it is costly and high dose of 500 mg, the doctor would have thought of trying with little cheaper and less dose drugs. Please remember these drugs are for life in most persons. Get back to the doctor and discuss with her/him your affordability of amisulpride. Please remember that there can be many psychosocial factors that bring in a relapse. Try to find and solve them.

It is difficult to get the right combination of medications to control the symptoms as well as make the person feel comfortable without side effects. Constantly working with an astute psychiatrist. It will take time. There are no exact medicines, different people respond differently to different ones.
