I have been experiencing constipation ever since I started taking oleanz. It is an anti psychotic drug. I am not able to stop it. Lonazep has also got side effect like dementia in the long run. I want to stop this also. Is there any alternative medicine for my problem. Please help me.

Mr. lybrate-user since it's a long-standing illness you may have to continue oleanz. You may take diet rich in fibre for constipation. Clonazepam can be tapered and stopped slowly under supervision of a psychiatrist. You can also discuss alternatives for oleanz with your psychiatrist.
