Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic

nexito's starting dose is 10mg once in a day upto 30mg per day. Start with 10mg and wait for two weeks. It would take 7-10 days to show response. After two weeks, according to symptoms u can increase the dose after every two weeks.
for first episode patient need medicine for 6 to 9 months. If u leave medicine in between,chances of relapse is around 30 to 40%. In that case take the drug and continue it. In future if u need our help, we r happy to help u.

Thanks
