Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Oleanz can cause slurred speech. If medicine cannot be changed, anticholinergic medicines are added to reduce this side effect. Usual prescribed drug is trihexyphenidyl. Please let your psychiatrist assess your symptoms and prescribe act.

How can I get rid of pills such as ciplar10, pari cr 12.5 and oleanz 5? As I am addicted to such medicines Taking such from last 3 years

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Based on your clinical history, your doctor plans the type of medicine and it's dose and duration. For first episode of anxiety/ depression/ panic, the usual maintenance phase is 6 months of asymptomatic period, after which medicines can be gradually tapered. But treatment may need to continue longer depending on severity and frequency of episodes. To take any decision to change medication or stop them, several factors have to be taken in account for which regular follow up with your psychiatrist is important. Your prescription is dated for 2014. For second opinion, seek a proper consultation with another psychiatrist and take along your previous prescriptions.
