Is it safe to take Sizodon with aprazolam for clinical depression?
human
hello, my mother was diagnosed with clinical depression after the passing of her mom last month. She stopped talking, showed symptoms of anxiety, fear, uncertainty, lack of confidence, confusion, speech problems as well as memory problems. She has been taking mirtaz, alprazolam and imovane, which makes her really lethargic, slow motor function, hard time going to the bathroom or dressing up. In the evening before bed after she has taken her medicine she has sometimes spoken very well and lucid. The doctor today prescribed Duocip (60mg) once in the morning as well as Sizodon (3mg) once at night together with the aprazolam (1.5mg)night, mirtaz 45mg at night. Is there good reason for her to take the Sizodon?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicSizodon is antipsychotic and contains risperdone. In depression, if patient has any psychotic symptoms, then we prefer to give sizodon, other wise there is no need to prescribed it. Some psychiatrists give it in low dose as a sedative. If she is taking mirtaz or alprax, then there is no need for it. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist.Thanks
