Olimelt (olanzapine) 10 mg is a standard, moderate dose, not typically considered high. However, combining it with Arip MT (aripiprazole) 10 mg can sometimes cause involuntary movements. The repeating of sentences and stretching of lips you noticed in your sister could be side effects known as extrapyramidal symptoms, which affect muscle control. Please do not worry, as these symptoms can often be managed. It is very important to contact her prescribing doctor promptly to discuss this. They can safely adjust her medications or provide treatments to help ease these movements. Please do not stop or change her doses without medical guidance.

Because both antidepressants and aripiprazole can cause significant sedation, combining them can compound this effect. Since your mood is still low, your doctor is likely trying to protect your mental health, but your quality of life matters deeply too. You might ask your doctor about adjusting the timing of your doses to bedtime, or gently request a referral for a second psychiatric opinion. A fresh perspective could help find a balance that supports your mood without causing such severe exhaustion. Please do not make any changes to your medication without medical supervision.

Yes, long-term use of medications like aripiprazole and amisulpride can occasionally cause muscle stiffness or spasms, known as dystonia, which can affect the pelvic floor and cause severe difficulty with bowel movements. Please know you are not alone, and this can be managed. I highly recommend discussing this with your prescribing doctor or a neurologist. They can safely evaluate you, perhaps using specialized pelvic tests, and consider gently adjusting your medication or suggesting targeted pelvic floor physical therapy.

For most people, especially at a gentle starting dose of 2.5 mg, this medication typically takes about two to four weeks, and sometimes up to six weeks, to start showing noticeable improvements in symptoms like forgetfulness, repetition, and sleep. Please continue giving it as prescribed, and try to keep a daily log of his symptoms. If you don't see any changes after a few weeks, do reach out to his doctor to discuss adjusting the treatment plan.

The mild, squeezing sensation you describe sounds very much like a tension headache triggered by stress, rather than an interaction between your medications. There is no common interaction between aripiprazole (Arip MT) and propranolol (Migrabeta) that causes headaches; in fact, propranolol is sometimes prescribed to help prevent them. While aripiprazole can occasionally cause headaches as a side effect, the timing suggests stress is the main culprit. Please share this with your doctor so they can help you find relief and ensure your treatment remains safe and comfortable.

Since you only took Arip (aripiprazole) for two to three days, the medication did not fully build up in your body. It will mostly leave your system within 7 to 10 days. The shaking you are experiencing is a known, temporary side effect and should gradually fade and stop over the next few days as the medicine clears. Please rest assured that this is temporary. If the shaking does not improve after a week or feels unmanageable, please contact your doctor for guidance.
