Hello,
covid vaccination has immense benefits and schizophrenia is not a contraindication go ahead as soon as possible.

Given your father's current age, there are various possibilities, but most likely it is a physical condition rather than purely psychiatric. I would advice you to consult a psychiatrist dealing with geriatric/old patients, which I happen to be one. For further discussions and advice, do message me here on Lybrate.

Hi dear
understand your stress reg this.
Your father may need help of more than one professional, visit a place where it is available
where there is team work of psychologist, neurologist and psychiatrists
may need regular monitoring of fluctuations, supportive counselling or psychotherapy and minimum medication depending on status if needed.
Thank you and take care.

Hello sanjeeva
I hear your concerns in this regard. I think you need to speak with your doctor or setup an online consult so that the medication regime can be streamlined after taking into account detailed medical history and past reports.

Depends whether it was a sustained relelase / extended release preparation or plain one.
If it was an extended/sustained release preparation then it will lose its effectiveness as long term preparation by crushing it.
So not recommended. (qutan sr)
if it is a plain or immediate release preparation, yes you can crush it.

Hi lybrate-user
it's not an illicit drug which you are taking, I believe you have a valid prescription for same. I wonder why would anybody take fluoxetine and fluvoxamine silultaneously as they both are of same class and work in same way, so why do not you take only one at an appropriate dose. Regarding convincing your family member, you need to express it explicitly what you have actually gone through and how this treatment has helped you, and ask them if they also want to see you happy or...more

Dear lybrate-user,
the tablet you are using is used for bipolar disorder and must have been prescribed by a psychiatrist, it will be ok to meet your doctor again and confirm the requirement. Do not change or stop the medicine on your own.

Hi lybrate-user
risnia is used in multiple health conditions with varying doses depending on the diagnosis, age of the person, response to the medication, adverse effects experienced/expected and lot more factors. It's in your best interest if you consult a nearby psychiatrist in-person who can assess you and guide further regarding the need for medication and appropriate dosing and future optimization of same.
I wish you stay happy and healthy!

Hi anyone can get corona it doesn't matter if you are on medication or vaccinated too. Don't worry take medicines as the doctor has told you. Take your precautions for covid. If you are getting anxious then take counselling from a psychologist or counsellor.
