Suggest Treatment For Mental Disturbance
My wife is suspecting every body thinking that they are talking about her. She is very much disturbed mentally. The psychiatrist has diagnosed as late onset of schizophrenic and given T-Sizodon 4 0-0-1 and T-Parkin 2mg. I kindly request you to inform me the side effects of both the tablets and for how long it has to be taken.

Hi,
Of the two medicines she is taking, Sizodon is the one that will help reduce her symptoms. It has a side effect of causing tremors, muscle spasms and excessive salivation in some people and Parkin is given to prevent this side effect. Parkin can cause constipation. She will need to continue treatment for schizophrenia for at least a year, maybe more. The duration of treatment depends on many factors and some people may need to be on medicines for their lifetime.
Best wishes.
