My daughter (28years) had a phsycotic episode in 2005 has been on sodium valproate since ten developed difficulty in sleeping for the past month doctor changed her medication to lamitor (75mg) for the past 2 weeks. She has a very bad skin rash  and palpitation; the doctor says it will clear. Can she get alternative medication or other forms of therapy?
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor In psychotic episode, there is no need to give mood stabilizer in first attempt. Both valproate and janitor are mood stabilizer and with them, she would not improve. She needs antipsychotic agent and that would help to control her psychotic symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
