Hi, In 2016 I Had Suffered With Paranoid And I
Question: Hi,
In 2016 I had suffered with paranoid and I was on olimelt 10mg later in 3 months it got reduced to 2.5 mg as I was not able to feel good.
After 3 months I got dengue n I took substitute of olimelt which is olienz. Still I was not feeling good, paranoid was treated but I was not ok with myself.
I stopped the tablet after 5 months I conceived my psychiatrist said not to take any tablets as I'm getting sleep by myself.
After baby I had irritable mood n I stay with my in laws n my husband does not stay here.
Managing two kids n cruel mom in law has become v difficult
Once again I had to start with tablet, now I'm on irispond plus, this does not have side effects
I don't understand whether environment is not good or I'm really suffering with something

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concerns...
First of all, please note that Risperidone is a very safe newer generation medication and it's devoid of many troublesome side effects that Olanzapine is having. In fact, you yourself stated that it's devoid of those side effects.
Moreover, if your feeling ok this time, the quality of daily life isn't getting affected, then it's definitely working. On top of that, it doesn't have any habit forming properties, so can be weaned at any time of need.
Immediately after pregnancy, the first few months body undergoes several changes both hormonally as well as physically. So that can certainly impact the overall well being. Yes, the surrounding environment may be bothersome also, but as long as it's not affecting daily activities, then you need not be bothered.
It seems the Rispond is keeping a check on the paranoid. So, my suggestion would be to continue the Rispond plus as per your doctor's advice. Give it some time, and see how it goes...
Let me know if I can assist you further...
Take Care
Kind Regards
