[|Human|] Hello Doctor, My brother is diagonised schizophrenia since last 6 years. He is 26 years now. He has been advised Rispond plus. But recently, he had started telling that the neighbours are following him. So the doc gave him schizoril. But he doesnt want to take the schizoril. what to do? Also as a sister, ( i am married, I do not stay with him), how can I help him to get cured? Dialy i call him, and try to push him to a job. But all in vain.
[|AI|]  Hi, Skizoril (clozapine) is a very effective medicine but is usually prescribed only when other antipsychotics have failed, because of the serious side effects and need for regular blood monitoring. If he was missing the doses of Respond plus intermittently, then it is possible that the appearance of new symptoms was due to non-compliance and not because the Chat Doctor.  If this is so, then he may not need to be given Skijoring. Use of depot injections of antipsychotics can solve your problem as he will just need to take one injection every two to three weeks. Please discuss this option with your doctor. Do not push him to get a job at present as he is not mentally fit now and is unlikely to be able to hold on to the job if he joins one. Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
