My daughter is 21 years old diagnosed with severe stress and was prescribed to take 0.5 mg risdone twice daily but her condition was not improve much and felt sleepiness throughout the day and unable to concentrate in studies so doctor asked to take rexipra 5 mg along with risdone and she started feeling much better and able to focus but problem of drowsiness remained so doctor her reduced her dose of risdone to 0.5 mg once daily and asked to take wakelert 150 mg if too much sleepiness is there. But after new dose she started feeling dull and there was feeling of some unexplained uneasiness in mind and was not able to focus though waklert was keeping her awake so doctor asked to stop risdone and observe but her mental health deteriorated with problem of breathlessness so doctor again asked to start risdone 0.5 mg once a day but she found that risdone 0.5 mg twice a day along with rexipra 5 mg is very helpful for her but there is problem of too much drowsiness so she needs to take waklert regularly. What should she do now? Should she continue risdone 0.5 mg twice daily with rexipra 5 mg and waklert 150?

With this holistic approach, surely she can overcome this problem permanently. Be positive. She will be alright soon. Feel free to reach out to me online for further evaluation and recommendation.

Dear sir please continue the medication as prescribed and it is advisable not to adjust the dose of wakalert by herself but speak to her psychiatrist. Also, both risdon and rexipra can be taken once a day, so discuss with your psychiatrist if she can take 1 mg risdon and 10 mg rexipra as a single dose in evening instead of twice a day and see if drowsiness reduces.
