weakness may be due to side effects of medicines, provide more details

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Probably you are talking about delusion of jealousy illness. It is a psychological disorder in which a person wrongly believes that their spouse or sexual partner is being unfaithful without having any real proof to back up their claim. Please clarify that I understood your question or not.

In this disorder anti psychotic medications are given for treatment. EPS(Extrapyramidal symptoms )are side effects of this type of medicines. Weakness may be due to EPS.

Please provide more details about his illness so I can guide you better.

- What is his age?

- Since when is he suffering from this problem?

- Which medicines are going on and in which dose?

- Does he has any physical problem. If yes provide details with medicines.

- Have you consulted psychiatrist for him?

Waiting for your reply to help you further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
Haloperidol may cause weakness, MRI brain is needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for some information.

He is already case of hypertension and diabetes. Psychiatric symptoms are there since 2 years only.This leads to possibility of some brain infarct. In my opinion he should undergone MRI brain with contrast. If you have report of the same please upload or write the report of MRI brain.

Haloperidol can be used in such condition but at this age it can cause EPS. His weakness may also be due to ischemia of brain and aging.

I would recommend Tiapride(tiaprex) for his problem. I have used this medicine in many aged people and it has worked wonderfully without significant side effect.

Hope I have answered your concern. Feel free to discuss further.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
no multivitamin will help specifically,online prescription is not valid

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for delayed response.

Online prescription is not valid and tiapride is a prescription drug. You need to consult a doctor for the same. I am sorry for limitation from our side.
And it is better to take any drug after consulting doctor personally as any side effect occurs local doctor can provide immediate help.

No multivitamin will help specifically for his problem. Considering his age he can be given Vitamin B complex tablets.

Wish him good health.
