Asking For Self, Male 70, Lahore
send query to psychiatrist.does 0.5mg Risperidone is effective for Psychotic depression.My father is 70 years old doctor has prescribed 0.5mg Risperidone along with antidepressants but he has severe psychosis issue.?? is that enough dose to treat his illnesse which is severe. ?
please take proper consultation. medications need to be discussed in person
If psychotic symptoms are severe then this dose is very low. He needs proper treatment plan after detailed consultation
Although i dont know the full history of illness but Risperidone 0.5 mg is reasonable dose in a 70 year old man in conjunction with anti depressants. There is no fixed dose for anyone and dose is adjusted in relation to multiple factors. Regular follow up with psychiatrist is very important to review his response
This dose is very low if patient has psychosis..Book ur appointment for further detailed consultation.
Psychotic depression is a treatable condition. Please book online for a detail assessment and further treatment.
