As the mental illness is increasing rapidly in today's world, the antipsychotics are developing as well. With the advancement of the best meds for schizophrenia/psychosis, people have various questions in their minds. 

 

Let us break the common questions that trigger people about the antipsychotics.

 

What if one-stop taking the antipsychotic suddenly?

 

When someone stops taking an antipsychotic medication without consulting the doctors, it can trigger the symptoms of schizophrenia again. One can become ill, feel extreme anger, mood swings, and severe anxiousness. The treatment of schizophrenia must be completed under the guidance of a doctor. If you need to stop taking the antipsychotics, then you must consult your doctor first.

 

Does antipsychotics affect other medications?

 

Before taking the antipsychotics, one must tell his/her doctor about the other medications they are taking. Some patients have diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid before they develop the signs of schizophrenia. Describing your doctor about your other health issues may help him to find the best meds for schizophrenia/psychosis for your treatment.

 

Should one consume alcohol on antipsychotics?

 

Drinking alcohol, when you are suffering from depression, makes the condition worse. Alcohol makes it difficult to absorb the medication in the body. Thus, it is a must that you must be honest with your doctor about your substance abuse. 

 

Continuing the substance abuse when you are on antipsychotics will worsen your treatment process. You must solely follow the instruction of your doctor about your schizophrenia disorder treatment.

 

Can a patient drive after taking antipsychotics?

 

Some antipsychotics make you feel drowsy, and this is for a reason, so that your brain can take rest and heal itself. Suffering from schizophrenia develops hallucinations, paranoid, and delusion in the patient. In such a situation, a patient drive cannot focus on the driving, and may meet with an accident.

Therefore, doctors always advise the patients to bring someone with them, wither their guardian or friend, who can take care of them during the treatment.

 

What if antipsychotics do not help a patient?

 

A doctor's role is to give every possible treatment to help his patient lead a normal life. He prescribes the best meds for schizophrenia/psychosis to reduce the symptoms of mental disorders. In case the antipsychotic does not give relief to the patient, then he can be treated in other ways in various ways.
