Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my husband was a chronic liquor addict and used to get violent in while drunken. On consulting a psychiatrist , he suggest Sizodon syrup and he is giving the medicine by last 1.5 years without his knowledge. Now considerable changes are there in his character and diminished liquor taking considerably. Can we stop the medicine administration now?
Hi Sarita
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Sizodone is a drug primarily meant to treat psychoses.
It has shown good response in your husband's case, I must congratulate that your husband is almost free of alcoholism.
Before you stop the drug note one thing that it should be tapered slowly rather than abruptly stopping it.
Another important point is that you should try to modify his company, a bad company can again cause him to fall prey of his habit.
Change/transfer his job if possible.
Motivate him to have regular exercises and gain heath.
Going to religious place of worship would also soothen his mind.
Wish you a great health!
