Hi Doctor,
My friend has been diagnosed for schizophrenia, OCD and has been treatment since last 6 years, but not much improvement. He has undergone ECT ( no : 5 ) in mid of last month with assurance of drastic improvement in his condition.Now, he is under medication of : Arip MT 15 mg : One tab in morning, Olimelt 5 mg : One tab in night and Pacitone 2 mg : One tab in morning. He is having issues of mind blankness, loss of memories to some extent, speech problem, weight gain ( 5 kg in last 21 days), getting irritated, feels weakness in morning. Do you feel that the last three problems i.e. weight gain ,getting irritated, morning weakness are side effect/s of present medication ?
Dear Doctor, would highly appreciate, if you could advise further course of action to my friend in his treatment.
Kind regards,
