Dear User, Urmila will get used to these drugs in 1-2 weeks time. Once schizophrenia symptoms are relieved, she will be able to tolerate the dizziness and sleepiness better.

Hello, the problems you mentioned are the unfortunate side effects of the medications. Give it some time. Or I would rather suggest that you go back to the treating doctor, and tell report the symptoms so that the dosage can be titrated accordingly.
