Hello lybrate-user. Thanks for reaching out. Bexol might be given to prevent side effects from other medicine. You should however consult your psychiatrist if you are facing any issues in memory.

My brother is 19 years old, had breakup, going to appear for 12th board and need this year. Doc said he is suffering from psychosis, we consulted psychiatrist, we are giving him medicine zisper ls, arip mt 10 mg from almost 1 month some days he is remain ok-ok but some days he behave very abnormally. His gf again started talking for 1-2 days and then blocked him telling she has other bf, he was a very bright student but now he is struggling to pass. Again he has started fearing, and feels everyone wants to harm him, has started hating me, he just keep on saying i'll complete my chapters but he's not able to study even if he's trying. His marks in test has deteriorated from 660 to 190. He even don't know what has happened to him. We give medicine in food. Should we tell him what has happened to him because is not ready to go to doc. Is the medicine right or should we go and see somewhere else? Please help me.

Yes, he needs to know what his problem is. The medication seems to be suitable but it needs to work in the long run. If it is not having a desirable effect, then either consult the same doctor or go to another to review the medication or dosage. He has a serious condition and must accompany medication with psychotherapy. This will take a long time and expect many relapses if he does not cooperate. for cooperation, he must know what his problem is and his involvement in his recovery is very impor...more

Dear lybrate-user,

It may not be carbegoline induced. Psychosis can relapse after few months, if medications are stopped. She needs to be treated again with antipsychotics and if carbegoline is essential, continued along with it. Good luck

Rage is contagious. When you have a temper, it may be difficult to admit there's a problem. You find yourself going from zero to 100. You were calm, and then your partner (or someone else) said something that triggered you. You snap, say something incredibly hurtful, and feel guilty. Before we know it, we go from being the adult in charge to the child having an emotional meltdown. I used to have the same issues. I was always an aggressive child. I was considered a very hot-headed person. I used ...more

Hi, 60+ year old woman is suffering from auditory hallucinations since march. She has been taking 'olimelt 10 mg' for 3 months now (along with zapiz 0.25 mg-1 month, ativan 1 mg-last 2 months) as per psychiatric doctor suggestion (psychosis). Liver test, blood test have been taken, its normal. Earlier she used to hear in the day time also, but nowadays only at night time she is hearing that too when she is about to sleep or early morning/if she wakes up at mid-night. Some of the other symptoms are, - suddenly crying at times (politely) - lack of concentration/focus - not speaking with anyone freely. Just 2/3 words, thats it - mild forgetfulness (small things like at times forget to switch off gas stove.) - mood swing like sometimes feel low/depressed -> can judge by looking at her face need experts advise on the below please. - all of the above are symptoms of psychosis? Any other medical test recommended for further analysis as per your experience? - can she take both psychiatric tablet and ayurveda/homeo medicines (saraswatharistam, manasamithira vadagam) together, bec. She wanted to reduce allopathy tablet intake for long run? - any other suggestion for faster recovery (like food habits, yoga, meditation, oil bath. Etc) any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dear madam, it looks like the psychosis (hallucinations) are responding to aliment, but some of the symptoms you mentioned are suggestive of depressive disorder. I would suggest that you bring them to the notice o the treating psychiatrist. Psychosis can occur as part of a major depressive episode too and sometimes, it takes a few visits to get a clear picture. If she has no health issues like diabetes, hypertension, then no other tests would be required to evaluate the mental condition. I would...more

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.
