Suggest Therapy For Schizophrenia

I sufferred from schizophernia in the past. I am under resperidone 4 mg on a daily basis. But I started taking only 2 mg in the last week for around four to five weeks. Some time after reducing(on 18/01/2011) the dosage I was told by wife that I am very dull. When given a thought on it I felt that the thought process I am undergoing on 24/01/2010 matched with the thought process I had at the time of suffering.From tuesday I started taking 4 mg. Currently I am on leave fom work as I feel I am not able to concentrate 100% at work. From 24th onwards I want to go back to work. Will this 4 mg dosage get replenished by that time and will I be able to concentrate and work properly by 24/01/2011.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, you have to take medicine for long. Better to take 4 mg of risperiodone for longer period and in case, you remain asymptomatic, you can try to stop them after psychiatrist consultation.

Thanks
