I appreciate your concern and asking on health care magic. In response to queries I would say:
1. Sizodone plus is resperidone and it is an antipsychotic. Its use varies according to the disease. It blocks that dopamine pathways in the brain that are involved in various mental processes including psychosis, mood and anger. In high doses it acts as antipsychotic and in low doses it is used as mood enhancing and reducing anger and irritability.
2. It can be stopped depending upon the resolution of symptoms and the course of treatment. Its dose can be reduced if causing increased sleep. I hope you find it helpful
