psychotic problem

The problem which I would like to share with you is about my wife. She has psychological problem. Earlier she was diagnosed to be having a Bipolar Disorder and later another doctor said it is Schizophrenia.
The problem with her is that she has become negative minded. People talk positively and she takes it negatively. When she doesn't like something, she may leave the party immediately. Then keeps on shouting and screaming for 3-4 days and hates that person. That person may not even take a guess what was wrong he or she had said. If I try to explain at this stage, she gets more hyper and starts shouting at me, if again argued at this stage, she gets violent, then she has to be handled like a child.but still when she realizes what she did was wrong, she never says sorry or admits. Once she had misunderstood someone's statement, I tried to explain, then she thought I am favoring others not her, and then she left the house and started shouting at them in front of the whole neighborhood. She could get so hyper that may even kill a person.

when in a good mood, she is very good nature wise, likes to give gifts to the people she like, help them etc. In initial meetings, she is very polite but if the frequency of meetings increases, then I am always sure that something will happen, whether it be her friend, her family, my family, neighbors etc.

I
Only last eight months back, she had started taking allopathic treatment, risperdal 1mg daily.used it for 3months.had really improved but then she left it because of the side effects.now she doesn't want to use it again.her symptoms are coming again.she will definitely use homeopathic medicine.
If any one has a good solution, then please advise.

Did she have an emotional set back in early years???

Any recent emotional set back that causes it??/

Dear All homeopaths,

my initial Id was LU and I had posted in about wife's psychotic problem. You may notice, my this post was a year and a half back. I did not get any response though did get a chance to have homeo treatment by a doctor in the local area which did not work and then online treatment via emails with a senior homeopath in states. I tried homeopathy during this period and did not see much noticable results. Losing hope, I discussed again the case with a psychiatrist just now who has again advised the same medicine to be continued. This is another doctor and says it is not schizzophrenia but personality disorder. Though I have started this alo treatment but since there are so many new specialists in this forum so wanted to have their openion if such patients have any chance of being cured in homeopathy.
I have tried a list of medicines and have with me a good stock of different homeo medicines. Even tried Lm potency of some medicines.

I look forward to your comments and hopes if any.

Regards

You have mixed remedies as if they were smarties. Exceptionally it is possible to take a low potency 3x-6x fairly frequently , at the same time as taking a high potency say 10m very infequently.
Ignatia is very useful for dealing with grief.
Sulphur is a wide acting remedy which will deal with many problems of the Psoric classification.
Aurun is a good remedy for dealing with suicidal impulses and falls into the syphilitic classification.
The point of all this is to point out that it is UNhomeopathic to mix these remedies . Find out which is best and use that one.

Dear Passkey

Thankyou for your reply. This was the initial advise when the remedies were mixed. but later on for a year the other homeopath used to give her one medicine, single drop and then observe for any response, used to take regular feedback from me, so this way a very good number of remedies were tried one by one, but I did not notice much results, here is the list which was tried one by one,
acid phos, calc carb,sulfur, hepar sulfuris, croton tig, sepia, and a few others
when he took over, he asked to take black coffee to remeove effects from previous remedies and also camphor,
nux vom was also given in between at times,
any furhter suggestions, passkey? no one else has contributed at all.

Dear Lu,
I am not an homeopath, but i think there is a group of remedies that could be given..."the solanaceas"

-Veratrum Album
-Hyoscyamus
-Belladona
-Stramonium

Belladona is one of the "acute" remedies, while the other 3 have a deepest action.I said the above because you mentioned "she would kill"....she shouts at anybody...

Dear Mariah,

Thankyou for the info, i appreciate though you are not a homeopath but this is surprising that all the homeopaths in the forum have nothing to comment. i have started on with an alopathic treatment but do not feel like continuing with sedating medicines. i believe in homeopathy, but my point to post this topic again is to have certainity on treatment particulary in this regards as I have already given in 2yrs with three different homeopaths but not much came up.

The man who use a single drop - what potencies were they ?.

Looking at my previous post which of the descriptions I gave would be the best for her . I tend to favor Aurum and as the mentals are strong use say 10m
3 doses at 24 hr intervals.
 
passkey last decade
Thankyou passkey,

They were of potencies 30 mostly. when he felt that it is showing any positive results then he asked me to proceed with the LM potency as below.
He said take 22ml Gin, 44ml water, this makes solution 66ml. then dissolve 1 drop LM1
hit the bottle against a book, or something, 10 times,
THIS MUST BE DONE EVERY TIME , before using from the bottle,
take one teaspoon "ONLY" from 66 ml solution, mix into a 8 oz glass of water ..{{always use a fresh glass and spoon}}, stir good, then take one teaspoon, as
>medication from the 8 oz glass of solution
keep it in the mouth a minute or so, swallow.
(5)continue daily (steps 1-4)-untill there is a "..HARD AGGRAVATION.." results .

aurum was not tried this way and it was given, it was in 30 or 200 potency. I had though noticed better results from aurum but after some time I noticed an aggravation. then i discussed with this new homeopath who looking into all the symptoms, said aurum met does not match. so continued his way.

passkey, can i try aurum again but i donot want to stop with alo treatment now i just started it and really want to be sure with homeo treatment this time as its very difficult to control her when sick.

Dear LU,
I do take allopathic meds. while i am on homeopathic treatment....you mentioned that the risperidone effect was goog...so dont hesitate..use Risp. while you trying to match the homeop. remedy for her.-I think there is no problem in doing it, my homeopath says it is ok....only that, may be you have to repeat the homeopathic dose more often to assure that the allopathic interference will be minimal.-Besides, what i know about risperidone (Risperdal) is that it lacks the antihistaminergic profile the others antipsyc. drugs does have...so, that means less somnolence and less apetite....(i have been there...believe me).-
yours,
 
mariah last decade
I would suggest 3 x 1m tablet [ at 24 hr intervals ] and wait to see what reaction we get.
 
passkey last decade
dear mariah,

thankyou for yr reply. what do u mean by u have been there?

do u say risperdal is quite safer than other antipsychotic medicines. ok i would use as suggested by Passkey (3X 1 M) daily with rissperdal. but how would iknow if it is effecting as i would also be getting effects from risperdal.

thanks a lot to passkkey too.

Dear LU,
with "i have been there..." i meant that i was prescribed Risperdal for a while.-The effects of homeop. meds. are holistic you will notice changes in all aspects....while the Risperidal thing, is not a high dose (usually is 3-6 mg/d) and those meds, works by blocking the personality...and there is obviously a benefitial part in acute psychoses, but, the relief in homeopathy is deepest.-Sorry about my english....
yours,
 
mariah last decade
dear mariah

thankyou for explanation. did u feel better after using risperdal. what did u use it for and for how long. and which remedy you switched to in homeopathy. did u find for yourself positive results.

thanks

Lu,
There are no estereotips in homeopathy....what is good for one person having psyhotic feeling is not for another with the same pathology.-I encourage you to take a look at the remedies that i wrote above "the solaneceas".-Another thing and dont take me wrong, if you are living with a person whos senses and mind are "psychotic"....you probably need treatment too.-The remedies i tried for myself were HYOSCYAMUS 10M - ANACARDIUM 10M - CALCAREA CARBONICA M - ARSENICUM 10...but i as said to you before, you havent post enough symptoms....
take care,
 
mariah last decade
Another Thing...if you saw that a remedy works for a while, this is a very important sign that you have been found the right remedy, but probably the potency were low...e.g.: if 1M of Anac or Sulph or Aurum worked initially as you posted....try a higher potency...the rule is to start low and go up as needed....But, i tell you, always is better that cases are managed by a profesional homeopath,
Good luck.

Dear mr. kaylan

Well sir she is from divorced parents. Was close to father. divorce took place when she was in early teens. the problem had started before that, she used to move between both the parents. mother was not so loving but finally she stayed with mother. father was in another country.
mother got married and then step father was not good. there was always tnesion in the house. I also see reports from her school teachers that she seems disturbed in school and must be taken good care of.

Dear All,

Hi! I would like to know if anyone who is sure of her treatment would like to take the case.

I am depserately in need of a good homeopath who may have already treated such cases or otherwise please let me know of any good homeopath in pakistan or in any part of the world who may assist me here.

Dr. kalyam also told me later that he does not find it suitable to treat her online.

Awaiting your replies. I must get her treated and she is getting from bad to worse.

Regards

Lu.

My sister has been schizophrenic for 20 years and the only drug that has helped her was clozoril. Respirdal didn't help at all. Please don't be opposed to take allopathic meds to preserve life and limb and your peace of mind while you work out homeopathic cures. This disease as you have described is too serious. Please take care. ALSO, many of the side effects of anti-phychotics can be remedied by homeos so you may want to think about a combination. Meera (USA)
 
geauxp last decade
Dear Meera, Thankyou for your post.

Yes even in her case I had noticed not much results with Risperdal.

Has Clozoril got more side effects. Can you let me know how she behaved being a schizzophrenic. is this similar to wife's case. I am not sure as yet about her being schizzophrenic, paranoid schizzophrenia, bipolar disorder, personality disorder or what. Two different docs have said different things.

She doesnt wanna take allo bcoz of side effects. and secondly does not want to accept herself having a problem. But wouldnt mind taking homeo remedy. All i am looking for is one correct remedy to match her symptoms which I havent found as yet despite several attempts by different homeopaths.

Regards

I would love to take her case.I have treated two cases of similar type successfully.One of them is a very close relative and your wife's case reminds me so much of that case as the similarities are striking.

How does your wife react to a hot day?Does she have aversion to being in the sun or to sunlight on a hot day? Is she sensitive in her throat area?You can answer this if you recall whether she dislikes wearing anything which touches her throat. Does she like to wear loose clothes? You ask your wife to take out her tongue and see if it is difficult to put out the tongue too far?Dors the tongue tremble severely when outside the mouth?

Do you think your wife is a jealous person?Does she always accuse you of neglecting her and paying more attention to others?She keeps asking you do you love her or not?Is this issue of loving her a constant theme with her? Does she like to be physically caressed a lot when she is in a happy mood? Does she like the windows open or windows closed?Is she better in open air or in a closed room?What makes her worse cold or heat?Which weather she likes and which weather she doesn't like or symptoms are worse?Is she thirsty or has less thirst than normal?How about her digestion?Does it get disturbed by rich food?Is she a hardworking woman when normal or doesn't like to work?Her energy level.Is it low or high?Or is it so high that you can call her a hyperactive person?How does she sleep?On her abdomen or back or in knee chest position?

How does she respond to music?Does she like to dance or sing with the music or averse to it?Does she like the colors red,green,yellow and black or hate them or neutral with them?Is she afraid of the dark,ghosts, to be alone,lizards,spiders,snakes,dogs etc. or anything else.Is she talkative or a quiet person?Is she always competing with others or indifferent to people?Is she scared of shining objects such as a body of water or mirror etc.? Does she have a fascination for knives or any other fascination? Any particular dream or dreams that she repeatedly sees?Is she a very possessive person with respect to things/people she loves?
Also her menstrual cycle.Has it always been normal or some problems with it.Have you noticed what happens to her symptoms around the menstruation period.Do they become worse?

You can also mention other symptoms peculiar to her which you do not find usually in other people.

I have asked you so many questions.It is only to try and identify the right remedy as you have suffered so much.If you don't feel comfortable answering all these questions feel free to do so.But if you decide to give her case i promise to help you to the best of my ability and by God's grace we i.e. me and other homeopaths on this forum may be able to help her and you.

All the best.
