Psychiatrist Dr. Gourav Monga's  Response
hello

welcome to health care magic

Arip MT contains aripiprazole which is an antipsychotic drug used in schizophrenia and other psychoses, so continue taking this drug. As per your description, you are still experiencing delusions & hallucinations. So, i advise you to consult your psychiatrist for readjustment of the dose as there is a need to increase the dose.

Hope it helps

Good Luck
Thanks
