Hello, occasional consumption of some amount of alcohol is almost harmless with these medicines.
But your frequency of alcohol is on a higher side, it will come under the category of alcohol misuse.
You have to reduce the frequency of alcohol otherwise you will land into problems like alcohol dependence, deterioration of mental health and other physical problems as well.

I have schizophrenia and I don’t feel like to do regular exercise nowadays. On 29th october 2021 and 1st november 2021, a psychiatrist diagnosed me 3 times with schizophrenia and prescribed me second line of treatment (sizopin – clozapine 25 mg at 7 pm and amisulpride 100 mg - freq. 1 0 2) but I did’t start the allopathic treatment for schizophrenia and opted for natural home remedies, and watching sandeep maheshwari videos for positive affirmations. Is there cure for schizophrenia? Is recovery possible? Does medicines useful for schizophrenia? If yes, then which one? Ayurveda/unani, homoeopathy, or allopathic? If no, then what about psychological counselling? Many schizophrenia patients are taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 – 12 years but not relief. Any comment on this? I think medicines alone cannot treat schizophrenia because medicines cannot alter behaviour. Is schizophrenia a lifelong mental health issue? What are the causes of schizophrenia so that the root cause treatment can be find out? Clinical psychologist advised me not to watch negative programs like c.i.d, crime patrol and saavdhaan india. Which foods should be avoid in schizophrenia case patient? What should a schizophrenic person do to improve his/her condition? I am 22 years old male as of 2021. So am I too young to diagnose with schizophrenia? Why there are no lab tests to diagnose schizophrenia? Why so many doctors’ perspective/opinion about schizophrenia differ? Why some of the antipsychotic medicines for schizophrenia banned in some places? Is there a high chance of suicide for schizophrenia patients after the treatment because after the treatment, they may feel guilty and thus prone to suicide? Am I right or am I right? At the most, what will happen to a schizophrenic people who is not receiving allopathic treatment? Awaiting your reply. Thank you. Regards, xavier siby moorkattil (extc engineering student at x.i.e. College, mumbai)

I had opted for the natural home remedies (pure ayurvedic herbs/medicinal plants/ indianjadibooti) for the treatment of schizophrenia. Nature is providing all types of remedies for every disease but the correct one needs to be directed properly. Green cardamom, holy basil leaves, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, brahmi, ashwagandha, chamomile, indian gooseberry, licorice powder, carrot, spinach, almonds, ajwain, sarpagandha, malkangani, vacha, jatamansi, lavender, shatavari, fennel seeds, gotu kola, shankhapushpi, etc are available natural ingredients that are useful in the treatment of schizophrenia without any side effects. Other home remedies can include prior notes of when a person experience schizophrenic episodes, developing a routine for comforting mental health like doing yoga and meditation, having enough sleep without any stress, eating healthy food and balanced diet, meeting new people, making involvement in surrounding environment, limiting or avoiding drugs and alcohol use, performing daily physical activities/regular exercise, listening to positive affirmations, laughter yoga, etc. If I suspect later or in future if I find it difficult to accept the diagnosis of schizophrenia, then I will ask myself a question, “for which purpose I had started natural home-remedies? Accepting diagnosable schizophrenia is a part of the path of it’s recovery. First, there was a time when society called schizophrenic people psycho or insane. But now all these terminologies are not accepted. First, there was a time when if a person had schizophrenia symptoms, then society would judge them and not communicate with them. First, there was a time when schizophrenic people’s freedom and human rights were abused. They don’t get a respectable life. Now it’s not like that. Now good facilities had came like suicide prevention helplines, yoga therapist, psychologists, ayurveda doctors, good books mentioning self-care strategies for the treatment of schizophrenia.

You must always ask for the diagnosis and find out what you are being treated for. If the doctor is not willing to share it with you, at least s/he can share it with the person who was accompanying you. You are being treated for a serious condition and must be enjoined with therapy too. If you are cooperative, you can lead a normal life and can live with your wife too. Depending on your behavior, you may be restricted if you are violent, abusive, or too dysfunctional. If you visit a therapist, y...more

Hello,
your questions are more philosphical, obviously the husband has not disclosed his problem before matrimony. The main thing is that sulpitac is used for mental disorders like schizophrenia. But a better approach will be to visit the doctor with the wife who can explain all the details about her husband including the diagnosis, need for medication etc. In any case these disorders can be manged sucessfully and all details should now be atleast privy to the wife.

Dear Ram,
The problem you are facing is being treated as Epiulepsy. you may have to furnish more details about he nature of episode you are having, in view of the existing lesion in temporal lobe i would like to consider Epilepsy as the main disorder and will like to increase the medication to correct dosage. If the episodes are not controlled with clobazam and Lacosam it may be worthwhile changing to other anti epileptic medicine under supervision.
