Diagnosed with post partum psychosis.
My wife has been suffering from the ocd for last 5-6 years. She was diagnosed with post partum psychosis on 08 Oct 20.she delivered a baby girl on 01aug2020. After being on ozapine 30mg, velrate, and heloshine(3 tab) in a day. She became stable within 10 days. Dr reduced doses of ozapine for next 20 days. And after 20 days Dr stopped ozapine. And Dr started treatment for OCD but on reducing ozapin she again went into psychosis, now she is on ozapine (15mg), haloshine (10mg),fluoxetine (40mg),ariprazole (20mg),hexylent (2tab),Parkin plus (2tab),and respridone 2ml for last 2 days. How much time she will take to recover or should I shift on another medicines. Its very painful for family members. And can her episodes come back in future again on reducing medicine?
Please suggest needful.

Usually medications for post partum psychosis are given at least from 6 month or more , dose could be reduced once patient is stable otherwise it is seen that patients relapse ( symptoms come back)
Their are many factors to reoccurrence but yes it has seen that major life events (marriage, pregnancy, child birth) could be a stress to mind and body ( not in positive or negative terms) together with sleep disturbance could trigger theses episode
Next Steps
