Resdone LS and ocd
I am diagnosed with severe ocd and take Prodep 60 once a day, and Resdone LS 1 tab at night.( I also have pcod,fatty liver and my maternal grandmother has diabetes and my father has high bp.) Right now i do not have any physical side effects except that i am thirsty more than normal. I am particularly worried about risk of diabetes and heart disease with Resdone.Is there any alternative to Resdone LS which works the same with no long term complications? I took Aripiprazole 5mg before but due to restlessness and agitation, was switched to Resdone.

Hi I can understand your worry . But resdone is relatively safe than other antipsychotics.. in our clinical practice. Timely monitoring will prevent you from having diabetes . Daily exercise and diet modification will have good outcome. As of now see tat your symptoms reduces And later you can optimise the medications and go on monotherapy with prodep.

Do not stay in bed for long. It’s a trap, it’ll leave you alone with thoughts for longer time. GET OUT OF YOUR BED When you feel the compulsive urge of doing something taking over- shut your eyes, squeeze a piece of paper. Throw it out. Go out for a walk. Do not give in to the urges, it’s not worth it Have a routine that you stick to: Not a routine that’s absolutely inflexible, but one that includes some of your best interests. Mine is making coffee, reading something, writing something, sitting with my breakfast near a window. Whenever you feel you are losing your mind - Remind yourself of you. The real you. Look at old pictures of you, look at the human you were - the fierce young soul you were. And you are that - no matter what your mind is tricking you into For the love of hell and heaven, please workout heavily. Join a gym if you want, please start shaking your body to senses. Eat a very good diet. Your diet rules everything. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT mess with your food Take a bath in the first hour or two of waking up. Feel fresh and confident Change your wardrobe to a more confident, yet comfortable clothing style Meditate for a while. It helps a lot. It helps you to calm down. Pray - That’s something you can do your own way. But it’s always okay to ask universe to send some help. Train your brain to do better than this. Take absolute control over your brain again - remember, nobody can get away by tricking you; not even your own brain. Take control of the thoughts. You are not crazy. It’s all right. You are absolutely amazing.
