Need help on Medication
Hi All,
mys sister is suffering from Bipolar Disorder and is presently in Depression phase.
She has notrecovered from past 4 months.
She is not feeling well in the day ,body pain ,headache and just having liquids in food forcefully. She feels better during evening hours.
She is taking Depran 50 in evening.
Her Psychiatriat suggested to take Pacitin in the morning for body pain?
Is it the right medicine , because I have seen and found this is used for Parkinson's treatment.
Now he suggested Dupax 20.
What should we take for body pain and headache in morning, so that she can wake up from bed?
She doesn't feel like leaving the bed.
Regards,
Happy

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If she is suffering from bipolar depression then the correct treatment should be a mood stabiliser. Please consult another psychiatrist.
Her body aches maybe due to decreased nutrition, vit D deficiency,electrolytes imbalance and lack of physical activities.
Please give her 1 tablet of becosules everyday (multivitamin) ,fruits etc, take her out in the sun atleast for 15 mins everyday.
I believe her medications need to be changed. For that she has to be evaluated further in detail. Please contact a psychiatrist
