Dear lybrate-user,
schizophrenia has both positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thoughts) and negative symptoms (tiredness, lack of interest in any goal directed activity, lack of pleasure, restricted vocabulary, apathy, etc.) probably you would have become alright because of relief from positive symptoms. The negative symptoms also need treatment (amisulpride and aripiprazole). Please don't stop these medicines. Discuss with your psychiatrist. She/he may add an antidepr...more

Dear lybrate-user,
as I have already answered, schizophrenia needs long term maintenance dose of tablets. Relapses are worse to treat. You have not had any relapse since you were continuously on tablets. Your doctor is reducing the tablets, its dose and to less powerful tablets like aripiprazole. Let your doctor decide how long you will be on 15 mg. Since you don't have much side effect with aripiprazole, why don't you take it till the doctor decides the maintenance dose and tablet.

You need psychological counseling and psychological autosuggestion therapy through the online process for three weeks without any medication for the removal of your psychological problems of ocd. You should know that medication has many side effects. You can contact me for this on Lybrate website or direct contact me for this on mobile. Thank you.

Dear lybrate-user,
it is nice of you to worry about your father. You can stop sulpitac and prodine, if you wish. It may not cause any withdrawal symptoms. But the original symptoms for which you consulted the doctor may come back. Either prepare to face them and restart the tablets or coax him to continue the tablet till next appointment. It is common or people to refuse to take psychiatric tablets.

Hi, I understand your concern. This is a mere stress induced depression. First thing you need to do is please get an psychologist consultation and simultaneously psychiatrist consultation. It will take little long but you are sure to get out of it with determination. Past cannot be repaired and it should not reflect on your present and future. Make your mind a beautiful garden to new sprind n buds to bloom. Warm wishes.

If you are in good condition as you say, you are indeed fortunate. But you must consult a doctor before quitting this addiction. It is safe but the doctor may want to examine you thoroughly before recommending a proper manner for deaddiction. Otherwise, you may also visit a hospital for deaddiction over two weeks. If you have developed this habit because of other reasons that has precipitated this addiction, then you need to meet a counsellor in tandem. Your desire to want to quit itself will wo...more
