Life without medicine is a dream for patients taking medicine for sleep. But it is possible to left the medicine with balanced diet. First ready to take plenty of fruits, coconut and exercise. Daily take two glass of normal water with lemon and no coffee or tea. The best method is to be physically active while leaving the medicine. Not a very difficult task but it will take 20 days to left the medicine completely. I guarantee nobody else other then me help you to leave in a very comfortable way....more

Dear lybrate-user,
the tablet you are using is used for bipolar disorder and must have been prescribed by a psychiatrist, it will be ok to meet your doctor again and confirm the requirement. Do not change or stop the medicine on your own.

Alcohol addiction is often seen in people with anxiety disorders. Simple deaddiction focus treatment won't help then, the underlying anxiety and irritability also needs to be treated. Maybe, for that reason, he is prescribed tab olanex f. Liofen xl is used here to decrease craving and felicita od is prescribed to replenish thiamine. Continue these medications for the time prescribed, definitely they will help.

The pulse rate of 95 or 105 is not alarmingly high. In situations of intense fear or anxiety normal persons can also develop such pulse rates and palpitations. What this means is you need to consult your psychiatrist for the fear and anxiety.
Do not worry too much about the pulse rates, its unlikely that this is because of a problem in the heart, more likely its a symptom related to schizophrenia.

The medications are fine, but your hallucinations are not controlled. So you need a revision of prescription, consult your psychiatrist. He will be able to help u. If all 4 years the symptoms have not remitted, with adequate dosage, there are medications for resistant hallucinations. All the best.

Hi. Looking at symptoms. He may have substance induced psychosis. Which was maintained on medications .it is true risperidone nd olanzapine are 2 drugs of damw class. But they are required to prevent relapse of disease. Nd slownwss may be part of psychosis. Which are called as negative symptoms. I can give oliramp 5 mg ar night single dose one drug. Which need to be continued. Antipsychotics are not habit forming. Sleeping pills may have that potential. So I recommend olirsmp 5 mg. Thannk you.

You cannot take the tablets on your own over the counter as they are schedule h drugs and need proper evaluation from a psychiatrist, before being prescribed. They also produce side effects like metabolic changes which need to be monitored. They can be given initially and changed later to better medicines for maintenance. All these will be done by a psychiatrist, so kindly consult one. Good luck.
