Restless during sleep after 2 weeks meds
Doc gave me fluoxatine 20mg, for a month and said it will be used longer. And risperidone 0.5mg for a week, during risperidone period i felt totally drowsy and sleepy which hindered my studies, 2 days after 1 week of risperidone was over i was bombarded by continous intrusive thoughts in my mind specially during and after sleep, sleep deteriorated , wake up 6,7 times during sleep. Now again i consulted doc, he gave me olanzapine 2.5 mg for 15 days but a local doctor told me that it is much more sedative than risperidone. What should be done??
