Brief Answer:
Probably psychosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your details.
I have the following suggestions for you:
1. Single shot of marijuana can cause 'psychotic episode in vulnerable individuals. This might have happened in your son's case for the first time as he was stressed.
2. The individual who has had 'psychotic episode in past can develop further episodes in future even with minor stressors, which could be a possibility now.
3. To reach to a correct diagnosis, more details and thorough mental status examination is required.
4. The treating psychiatrist might have assessed him and than labelled psychosis to him.
5. The drugs given are antipsychotics, which are needed in such cases. However, the choice of drug may vary from doctor to doctor.
6. Time taken for recovery and duration of treatment are different in every individual. There is no way to predict exact duration.
7. If the boy is sleepy, you can revisit the psychiatrist for dose adjustment.
Hope this answers your questions.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
All the best.

Thank you very much for your advice. After your advice, i have gone in detail the behavior and routine of my son and researched on prescribed medicines.
I had called Psychatrist on second day and he had hardly spent two min with my son and written medicines with his experience in such cases.
The dose written and mentioned to you in my first querry seems to be higher dose for my son than required thatswhy he was sleeping and drowsy throughout.
After careful study and analysis in totality being sufferrer, i had given him Olimelt-5mg in night and Paciwin-2mg at day (12:00hrs) alongwith B Complex Cap after Lunch. With these medicine , he is totally normal as in past. He walked with me for one hour as in past.
Pl offer your comments and advice in light of your para (5) and (6).

Brief Answer:
Keep the treating doctor informed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
The combination which you have given may be right for him. But it is always good to keep your local doctor informed about whatever changes you make in drug treatment.
As I mentioned earlier, the response to treatment is sometimes unpredictable. Even if your son is doing good now and his behaviour improved, It is advisable to continue with treatment as advised by your treating doctor. The psychological illnesses tend to relapse if the treatment is not taken appropriately.
I wish for speedy recovery of your son.
All the best.
