My son is on Vimpat and is experiencing psychotic behavior and his personality has changed. We cannot have conversation with him. How can we ween him off this medication? It is too long before he see a neurologist he will be in a mental institution by then. Can we go back to the depokoate he was on before?
Vimpat is mainly used for seizures I am not sure why he is taking if he is not having seizures. He needs tab olanzapine talk to your doctor to prescribe this medicine. After taking this medicine he will be fine in 2 weeks. Go for counselling and behavioral therapy side by side. After two months reduce the dose of medicine. Then keep him on counselling only. After 5-6 months he will be fine. Take care
