Hi Rahul, welcome to health care magic.
i would like to know still more about your brother's symptoms to diagnose him correctly.
the drugs which are prescribed to your brother belongs to a class psychotropics and i may not be able to conclude whether these drugs are correct to your brother with out knowing all his symptoms.
and the drugs which are prescribed to your brother are known to cause these side effects, but nothing to worry as side effects can be controlled . consult your psychiatrist

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your available history. you have not mentioned any symptoms your brother have which may help .
Risperidone and olanzapine are anti psychotic agents mainly useful for schizophrenia or bipolar mood disorder.
With these medication, it may be possible to have shivering of hand and weight gain as side effect.
So you should take him to his psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management.
Doctor may add trihexiphenidyl or benzhexol for control of tremors or may consider reduction of dosage depending upon the evaluation of patient.
I hope It will help you.
Thanks.
