The patient: January 2007, laboratory tests, March 27, 2008, the rash was concluded as schizophrenia symptoms 07 years in Changsha treatment, because there is no family history and the doctor did not patiently explain and any test to determine the disease, did not adhere to treatment, in March 2008 in Wuhan Mental Health Center treatment to date, taking Vestrone and stone cedrine A tablets and Benzedrine hydrochloride, after the situation is stable, no hallucinations hallucinations, when reduced to When the dosage was reduced to 1.5kg (the child resumed school in September 2008) for half a month, the hallucinations reappeared, and the next day the dosage was increased to 2.5kg as prescribed by the doctor, which was normal. Is there anything that has fewer side effects than the medication I am currently taking? Is there any possibility of curing my child with continued treatment? Is the last 30-minute seizure a relapse? The doctor said that this dosage has to be maintained for 3 years, and each time we eat the amount of medication strictly according to what the doctor said. Nanjing Brain Hospital Psychiatric Department Jiang Xiaojun: First of all, I think your child’s treatment is still a typical example of under-treatment. The dose of medication is insufficient, and the reduction of medication is too early. To put it simply, if the symptoms disappear completely after treatment and then return within 6 months, it is generally considered under-treatment. If the symptoms return after more than 6 months, it is considered a relapse. Our patient started taking only 1.5mg soon after treatment was started and is currently taking only 2.5mg, which seems to be a bit low for Vistone. The daily treatment dose is generally considered to be 6mg, with a maintenance dose of 4mg/day. Otherwise, the disease tends to relapse or is considered to be subclinical. There is no consensus on the maintenance period, with 3 years being the minimum. Patients with two to three relapses need to be on the drug for life. This is why we pay great attention to the first onset and the first treatment. If your child started at age 16, he or she may have to be on medication for 10 years or more, with no recurrence of the disease during that period. (Otherwise, the maintenance period will be recalculated from the first two treatments. The second generation of drugs with few side effects are Quetiapine, Aripiprazole and Ziprasidone. Among them, the imported original drugs are better, but the monthly cost is as high as 2000-3000 yuan. In addition, if you want to change your medication, you must do so under the guidance of your physician!
