HelloWelcome here.Tolaz-MD is not to be increased on sos basis. It can cause potential side effects like sedation, hypotension and akathisia.You have mentioned that she feels scared and she eats soap.There are some possibilities for this behaviour.1. This can be due to her psychosis. The illness is not controlled by drugs. The drug has to be changed in tbis case.2. There can be comorbid obsessive symptoms. Or the disorder would be obsessive compulsive disorder with poor insight or psychotic features. In this case, anti-obsessional drug has to be given like fluoxetine.I would suggest you to re-visit psychiatrist and ask for re-evaluation of your sister so that proper treatment can be given.Hope this helps.Thanks.
