Hello respected doctors. I have a serious concern regarding my mothers prescription. While ordering medicines online for my mother I had gone through the contents of the medicines prescribed to her by her doctor. The name of the medicine are- 1.soltus 50 2.tetrafol 7.5 mg 3. D venizep 50 mg these medicines are being consumed by my mother since 4-5 years. I had no idea about her treatment as I was a child then. But the real concern is that these are anti depression medicines or medicines for treatment of schizophrenia. Kindly suggest me that can I stop giving these medicines to my mother as it has been a long time she has been consuming these medicines and these have a serious side effect in the future. Please help as I am unable to visit any doctor during these times and I am coming confused as whom go rely upon during such times. Please help and let me know the alternative of these medicines in the form of ayurveda or home remedies? thank you.

The medicines are used for testing both depression as well as schizophrenia. Just because amisulpride is there don’t think it is for schizophrenia. It can be used for variety of conditions. The medicines look good. Google knowledge might confuse many. Good luck.

No side effect she can take stress patients worry too much. Stress in today?s day & age where stress is high, feelings of frustration can emerge. It is our perception that can change our current negative situation into a healthy & positive one. Another way of perceiving these feelings of frustration can be by looking at them as an opportunity to push ourselves to go that little extra mile until we achieve our objective. However, there are times when we all can go around in circles; and being in this space can be quite upsetting and lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, frustration and can even cloud our mind and judgment.

Dear lybrate-user, many medicines in psychiatry are prescribed for different indications. For e.g. Soltus, in different dosages is used for both depression as well as psychotic illnesses and other indications. D venizep I used for depression and several types of anxiety disorders. I would advise against discontinuing any medicine on your own, especially when your mother is maintaining well. I suggest that you have an open discussion with her doctor about your concerns and then take a decision. Best wishes.
