Schizoaffective Disorder Questions

Since you are feeling good with this prescription, you are advised to stay with this treatment. Homeopathy cannot treat severe mental disorders.

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.

Hi,
based on the information provided by you, it appears that you have a mood disorder, probably bipolar disorder. Trazine is probably not the right medicine for you. It's in your best interest if you consult a nearby psychiatrist in-person & discuss about starting mood stabiliser which would be most appropriate medicine for you if the diagnosis of bipolar disorder is confirmed by him/her.

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

Dear lybrate-user, please discuss your problem with your treating psychiatrist. There could be many reasons for refusing sex. Your wife might be in depression where she does not enjoy sex. Citapure may cause some side effect that she doesn't like sex. She may have other social reasons for refusing.
