Side effects
My mother has auditory hallucinations, so she's been taking medicine for that. The doctor prescribed Riscon Plus tablet. She's been on it for 3 months now. She started having problems like feeling very tired, leg vibrations, and inability to sit properly. So the doctor said he'd give tablets for 3 weeks and reduced the dose of the same Riscon Plus. But now, he's prescribed a new medicine, Propal SR 40. She's scared of this new medicine. Is this medicine reduce side effects?

Hey, I can understand as a caretaker all these thoughts are valid, propal SR 40 is to manage side effects only such as Leg vibrations.
Do not worry, this is the part of the natural course of treatment.
First Goal is to control the symptoms with Least side effects.
Next Steps
Still, even if you feel that you have more doubts, you can reach out to your psychiatrist first or if not, then here also you can consult.
