Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I would like to know what would happen to a person when taken against their will and admitted in a mental hospital for forced treatment with Tablet Sizopin 100 mg and Tablet Paliris 3 mg for a month under strict physical force and forced to continue the medication for another three years. The person had never been admitted or taken any medication for mental illness prior, except once due to family compulsion. Please let me know.
Thank you, doctor.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your first query consult is on us!
I will answer your question in two parts.
Condition of the person in the short term.
Condition of the person in the long run.
Condition of the patient in the short term: It depends on the reason for forced admission and will be highly distressing to the person. Usually, these medicines are prescribed for schizophrenia. In that case, schizophrenia is likely to improve. Sedation, increased appetite, salivation, weight gain, etc., can be caused due to Clozapine which is reserved for resistant schizophrenia.
Condition of the patient in the long run: Discontinuing the medication for a few days to weeks vanishes the side effects. It can be concluded that there are no side effects which last long after stopping the medication.
I hope this answers your question.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I would like to know what happens to the patient who never got treated for schizophrenia.
Thank you, doctor.
Hello,
Glad to have you back!
I am here to help you get the best medical advice.
It would be terrible for the person to go through such an experience when he has not got treated for schizophrenia. It could make the person very dull and depressed.
Thankfully, almost all side effects will disappear with time (a few days or weeks) after stopping the medicines.
Thank you.
