My mother is taking medicines for psychosis. I had also taken homeopathic medicines for psychosis like symptoms for 6 months. My mother and I had taken herbalife products. I have read on internet that herbalife products have ephedra which causes psychosis. My mother is also taking medicines for schizophrenia and her condition seems serious. Is it because of herbalife products. Is there any way for my mother to recover completely. Please help. I have asked this question here again because the last time when I asked this question I may not have been clear.

Avoid herbalife products and continue antipsychotics as per your psychiatrist advise. Schizophrenia is a long term condition, so attend review as advised to enable the symptoms to remit so as to maintain a near normal life. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, since how long your mother is suffering from schizophrenia? Was it well controlled with allopathic medicines before taking herbalife? Did the symptoms of schizophrenia became serious after herbalife? Both of you are taking herbalife as treatment for psychosis or for weight reduction? Question yourself and with the answers, get back to allopathic medicine psychiatrist for treatment of schizophrenia. Along with uninterrupted long term antipsychotic treatment, with lifestyle changes for its long term side effects, you mother can have quality of life.
