Hi,

Well, Sizodone LS tablet is composed of Resperidone, Trihexyphenidyl and belongs to the drug group known as atypical anti-psychotics and used in the treatment of psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, manic depression, bipolar disorder etc. Common side effects of Resperidone are weight gain, GIT upset like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain etc. Hyperprolactinemia can in turn lead to galactorrhea or milky breast, menstrual irregularities like amenorrhoea, delayed periods etc.

As the medications may increase body weight but modifying lifestyle by taking a healthy balanced diet and exercising regularly can reduce this side effects. Again, Valance OD is Divalproex in therapeutic class and belongs to the drug group known as anti-convulsants. They are also well-known for their side effects like weight gain, GIT upset, menstrual irregularities etc.

If you want to stop these medications, you should contact with your prescribing doctor. He can stop these medications by tapering their doses. Sudden withdrawal of these medications can lead serious effects on your wife's health.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General & Family Physician
