Suggest treatment for schizophrenia
human
Hello doctor,my name is Jay and i am 24 years old.i believe i suffer from schizophrenia since i'm hearing voices such as believeing that my thoughts are being broaddcasted and a believe that an external force is out there trying to control my thoughts and behaviours.i've been through this for the pass 4 years but i didnt know i was schizophrenic until i read some details online recently which informed me about the symptomps and they all match to what i am experiencing.i do not have fear dealing with it,only that sometimes i get quite agitated.i've never gone to a doctor for this,but in my country its easy to get meds without any prescription.so i read that risperdal is a good one.i just went and bought one yesterday and seeing how it works,so far so good except i feel really "dull".i used to take nitrazepam called dumex/dumolid it used to make me feel good.the question is,is it ok if i take the nitrazepam combined with risperdal?and how much of risperdal should i take per day?looking forward for your help,thanks doctor.

Hello,Its good that you started tablet risperdal for your illness. you can take 4mg in a day in divided doses. Take care of some side effects like tremors, hypersalivation and drowsiness.I would suggest you take nitrazepam only if you have sleep problems.However its safe to take both tablets combined.Thanks.
