My wife has been on Sizopin 50 mg and Serintin for depression since 2004. Should she continue these medications in the absence of her doctor?

Asked by Female, 57 · 2 months ago

No, your wife should not continue or adjust Sizopin or Serintin on her own without her doctor's guidance. Even if she feels okay, stopping or changing doses suddenly can cause relapse, withdrawal symptoms, or mood changes. She should consult her psychiatrist to review whether she still needs the medications and to plan any safe adjustments.

  1. Do not stop medications abruptly: Stopping Sizopin (Clozapine) and Serintin (Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl) suddenly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of depression.

  2. Seek medical advice: If her regular doctor is unavailable, consult another psychiatrist or healthcare professional before making any changes.

  3. Monitor for side effects: Watch for any new or worsening symptoms and report them to a healthcare provider promptly.

Continuing these medications without medical supervision is not advisable. Arrange a consultation with a qualified psychiatrist to ensure safe and effective management of her condition.
