Please Suggest Best Treatment For Schizophrenia In Dubai?
My son has been taking Oleanz 5 mg for the past 2 years as prescribed to treat Schizophenia. However this has made him very lethargic, sleeping for 10 hrs, loss of concentration, poor academic results, very withdrawn and less communicative. His fingers are now twitching. Please help as he is silently suffering and I feel very guilty as a father. Could you recommend a good psyhologist to help him in Dubai
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Please dont take your son to a psycologist. Take him to a psychiatrist first as his illness needs medical treatment. Only the left over issues can be shown to a psychologist. Olanzapine is known to cause excessive sleep. You may take risperidone or aripiprazole which causes less of sedation. You may contact Dr. Naresh Kumar at the royal health care center in Dubai. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
Wish you good health, Kind regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D.
