Hi, 60+-year-old woman is suffering from auditory hallucinations since March. She has been taking 'olimelt 10 mg' for 3 months now (along with zapiz 0.25 mg-1 month, ativan 1 mg-last 2 months) as per the psychiatric doctor's suggestion (psychosis). Liver test, blood test have been taken, it's normal. Earlier she used to hear in the day time also, but nowadays only at night time, she is hearing that too when she is about to sleep or early morning/if she wakes up at mid-night. Some of the other symptoms are, - suddenly crying at times (politely) - lack of concentration/focus - not speaking with anyone freely. Just 2/3 words, that's it - mild forgetfulness (small things like at times forget to switch off the gas stove.) - mood swings like sometimes feeling low/depressed -> can judge by looking at her face need expert advise on the below, please. - all of the above are symptoms of psychosis? Any other medical test recommended for further analysis as per your experience? - can she take both psychiatric tablet and ayurveda/homeo medicines (saraswatharistam, manasamithira vadagam) together, bec. She wanted to reduce allopathy tablet intake for the long run? - any other suggestion for faster recovery (like food habits, yoga, meditation, oil bath. Etc) any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
