Delusions, Memory Loss After Stopping Arip. Can We Restart Medication?
Hi my sister was taking Arip 5 mg 1.5 tablet and then she was on one tablet for about a year or so...she stopped taking it from past two months and suddenly got a relapse last week..she went for meditation practice and after coming back started feeling delusional...forgetting things, dazed and tried to escape..wondering if these are the side effects of stopping the medicine gradually? Can we put her back on same medication?
welcome to HCM.It would be best to consult her Psychiatrist as the starting medication and dosage would differ from those used for follow up therapy.It would help if the medicine is not stopped unless advised by her doctor.
