Hi, 65 years old aunty was taking olimelt tablet (as per psychiatric doctor advise) from march for auditory hallucinations problem. She was ok, but since she started having light stomach pain sometimes, she was thinking that its due to allopathy tablet and she wanted to change that. As per homeopathy doctor advise, from november first week, she is taking homeopathy tablets daily and taking olimelt once in 2 days. For 2 weeks no issue. But since yesterday, she seems to be having sleeping disturbances, not sure if she is hearing anything because she is not revealing, but she is disturbed slightly. Please advise if she can continue the homeo doctor approach for some more days and see if any improvement? I understand homeo will take time to react. Would like to ask experts opinion if it is a right approach? Any other tips to divert her thoughts/ manage? Pls provide some insights. Thanks in advance!

Hello olimelt does not cause stomach pain and it has to be taken regularly for proper benifit otherwise auditory hal will reoccur. Please continue olimelt daily.

More details about symptoms are required. Auditory hallucination can present in various psychiatric disorders. So,diagnosis needs to be done depending on the nature of the symptoms, it's onset, duration, severity and its progression. Accordingly, treatment have to be decided. Usually,it takes few months for remission of symptoms like auditory hallucination. Also, olimelt generally do not cause abdominal pain. Other likely causes of abdominal pain should be ruled out. If the treatment is discontinued abruptly then symptoms may reappear again (sometimes even after months) and so it is advisable to consult a psychiatrist and restart the treatment.

Taking olimelt on alternate days is present in no treatment protocol and cane be in fact detrimental rather than being helpful. Consult a psychiatrist and get proper medication and dosage. Get a gastroenterologist opinion for her stomach ache. It is your choice to try homeopathy, but it is very risky to combine 2 patties as the interactions have not been studied and cane be serious. So follow one stream which helps her, whichever it is. Good luck.
