My best friend has become very ill he’s talking a lot to himself . What med will help him ?
He needs to visit a pdoc (psychiatric doctor) because they will know what to do far better than us
The one prescribed by a medical doctor.
He’s on 1mg Respirodine twice a day and it’s not helping him.
He’s been given respirodine 1mg twice a day and it’s not helping him.
Sorry, I don’t want to derail @everhopeful s thread. It’s against the rules.
Could you maybe set up a new thread
Encourage your friend to talk to his/her/their treatment providers for a med increase, change, or addition. Working with you team on an ongoing basis is a big part of managing the illness.
He’s been waiting since 2020 for an appointment but nobody is contacting him.
His GP assessed him and gave him medication he’s not seen a psychiatrist and he’s been waiting for past 18 months .
Can he call a crisis line? Go into an Emergency department? Are there community organizations that will help?
Hi I am here for myself too but my friend is also very ill and I help him so it worries me . He has high anxiety and autism and won’t go on forums. I have been on risperodine and olanzopile and fluoxetine and stayed in hospital for 4 months . Made recovery slowly .
Referring to the article: this is only true if the meds work very well
It’s meds, diet, exercise, therapy, positive attitude, and great support networks (both medical and personal).
