Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello! my father is suffering from said schezophrenia. reluctant for medication. we are facing criticality in keeping him peace. now we changed the doctor(psychiatrist to physician) and said him the problem. he suggested ezeepam plus 10. dad feeling ok with general physician. but is it good consulting a physician for schezophrenia.
I appreciate your concern regarding the condition of your father. I also do understand the difficulty of convincing a schizophrenic patient for treatment.
I would have liked to know the symptoms that your father is suffering from. However, if your father is schizophrenic, like you have mentioned, I am not sure that ezeepam plus is actually going to help. Ezeepam plus is a combination of escitalopram which is an anti-depressant and clonazepam which is a sedative. For patients with schizophrenia, treatment with anti-psychotics like olanzapine, risperidone, etc is required. For patients who are non co-operative, depot injectable anti-psychotics or mouth dissolving tablets can also be tried.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
