Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

He is on Risperidone (sizodon) 3 mg, Oxcarbamazepine (trioptal) 1200, Topiramate 100 per day. The medicines Oxcarbamazepine and Topiramate are good anti-convulscent drugs and can result in mood stabilisation also. The psychosis symptoms like hallucinations, fear, anxiety will be controlled by Risperidone. As per my opinion he is on right medicines if there is no recurrence of seizures. Other medicines like Sodium Valproate can be used in control of seizures but there is no need to change the medicines.

Risperidone is an antipsychotic drug and apart from that other drugs like Olanzapine, Qutiapine can be used in place of risperidone for poor response.

Thanks, hope this helps you
