Dear Safraz,
By now, you know that your sister needs these medicines for whole life so that she will not be attacked by the disease again. How to make her take regularly after overcoming the problem? You need to discuss with her, your parents, if she is married with her husband and her friends. If nothing works out, you can request the doctor for long acting injectables. Oleanz is available as 2-4 weekly long acting injectable.

MBBS, DPM

Psychiatrist•Bangalore

Dear lybrate-user,
Are you taking both Celith and Epitic as mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder?
If so, please take both. Sometimes lithium carbonate helps well to control mania but not depression. Lamotrigine controls depression well.
