I posted once asking about Guanfacine availability in India, and many doctors commented that it is available in India.
So I went to my psychiatrist at Sion Government Hospital, Mumbai, but my psychiatrist said Guanfacine ER is not available in India.
Now I am confused:
Is Guanfacine ER actually available in India or not?
Is it unavailable only in government hospitals?
Can government hospital psychiatrists prescribe it?
Do I need to visit a private psychiatrist/private clinic to get it prescribed?
Would appreciate guidance from psychiatrists or anyone who has personally used/prescribed Guanfacine ER in India.
31. Male. 5'6". 77 kg. Paliperidone. I am suffering from nervous shutdown symptoms since 2015. I also started suffering from symptoms like laughing alone or muttering past conversation I had on social media out loud since 2020. My parents insist me on going to psychiatrist for this. One time I misunderstood prescription and took 10 SOS eitizolam pills as I thought they would cure me out of shutdown but they were for weak hearted feeling that I was having. So after overdose I was hospitalized and during my extended stay at hospital I became aggressive so combined with my shutdown and aggression I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and put on paliperidone 150 mg. But paliperidone is making my symptoms worse. I now have ADHD like symptoms due to high dopamine blockade and hence cannot read( jump t conclusions and skip stuff which I feel is unimportant). Doctors says will take you off paliperidone after I get a job and become functional again. Is doctor correct in keeping me on paliperidone?
