What Are The Side Effects Of Long Term Use Of Sizodon LS (2 Mg)?

Hi, My husband is taking sizodon LS (2mg) since 1 years. The doctor had mentioned that this will keep her violent behaviour under control. Whenever she misses the medicine for a day or two, she behaves violently and it gets difficult for her to get back to normal soon. Please advise what should I do ? How long will she need to take this medicine. Also I believe sizodon LS can have harmful side effects. Regard

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
Most common side effects are nausea, gastric upset and drowsiness.
Most notable side effects are movement problems named acute dystonia and drug induced Parkinsonism.
Acute dystonia occurs within hours of taking the medication and Parkinsonism occur within days of taking it.
These side effects are common in higher doses of the medication (Usually more than 4mg).
It can cause restlessness in legs and the person gets a feeling that he need to continue to move.

Hope this information helps.
Wish you good health
