My daughter is 21 years old diagnosed with severe stress and was prescribed 0.5 mg risdone twice daily along with rexipra 5 mg .she was feeling very drowsy throughout the day so doctor asked to take 0.5 mg risdone once with rexipra 5 mg once daily but she found that she was not doing well with this dose. Dr. Asked she can take waklert 150 if there is too much sleepiness. Is it safe to take waklert regularly since she can't stop neither risdone 0.5 mg twice daily nor rexipra 5 mg once daily as both the drugs are keeping her fit after a sufferings of long 5 years. She started taking risdone since 7th january, rexipra from 22nd february and waklert from 9th march this year. Can she adjust dose of waklert on her own between 50-150 as per requirement? She is now in mbbs 3rd year and can't waste almost all the the by sleeping as risdone and rexipra are making her very sleepy but at the same time helping her to overcome her problem to a good extent.

The medication which causes drowsiness is risdon, so you may consider taking risdon 1 mg in night only rather than taking 0.5mg twice. Yes you may change the dose of waklert as per requirement as it is only given for drowsiness so the dose can be adjusted accordingly. All the best
