My husband is suffering from ocd and delusion disorder and taking medicine zisper plus and feliz s 10 .he has been on this medication for about 1 year. Previously he was taking risdone 4 mg and citopam 20 mg. He has been under treatment for about 10 years regularly. Now though his problem is decreased to some extent but not cured completely. Instead I feel he has started having side effects like weight gain mainly stomach part, shoulder pain ,fast heart beat. So I want to discuss about all these.

Dear lybrate-user, it is good that vinod is taking tablets regularly and his problems decreased. Weight gain is one of the side effect of zisper plus and risdone 4 mg. You and vinod should work on that aspect so that these effective tablets can be continued for many more years. Try to consult a dietician so that vinod can alter his diet and exercise more regularly. Please discuss with your psychiatrist also who may reduce the dose of risperidone or change to weight neutral antipsychotics. But how effective they will be - needs wait and watch attitude.

Dear lybrate-user I think your husband is taking same medicine in different brand name with lower dose and these medicine may cause weight gain. Better to do daily exercise for one hour daily to control weight gain apart from diet control. I am sure that reducing or stopping medicine means relapse of symptoms. Please ask your doctor what he can do apart from medicine such as practice of psychological technique and for side effect.

Dear Lybrate user, its good that your husband is responding to treatment. Side effects are inevitable part of any treatment. However we can find ways to reduce them by modifying the medicines and adding on counselling. Don't worry. Feel assured. Fix an appointment with a psychiatrist either in person or through tele consultation. You will get appropriate guidance.
