My Wife Has Been Taking Quitipin 100 Mg And Divaa

It is not advisable to stop Divaa OD at this stage
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description and choice of various drugs by different psychiatrists over the period of time it appears to me that she is probably suffering with mood disorder/bipolar affective disorder/manic depressive psychosis.
Considering the diagnosis and current set of symptoms I feel she is currently experiencing mixed affective state (a set of symptoms comprising both upside and down side of mood). In this stage there is need to either decrease the dose of quitipin or increase dose of Divaa OD or both. In case medications are not effective than going for alternative options such as Lurasidone or Lamotrigine is advisable.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.


Yes there are many
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up and asking for something which is most frequent concern for family members for bipolar patients.
I like to share with you that almost two third and more have near normal life despite the diagnosis of bipolar disorder with appropriate treatment. As per my own clinical experience I can state that only some patients fail to respond with medications and need multiple medications during some stage of life.
I understand that sometime it is problematic for family members as well as patient but with proper care and regular follow up of mental health experts such patients can be treated appropriately.
I hope this answers you further.
Thanks and regards.
