Hi,

Thank you so much for the help. I have been taking the remedies as prescribed.

The voices are under control for the most part.

I still have mood swings and uncontrollable body movements. I go up and down really fast and have crying spells. I also have lots of depressive thoughts.

What would you recommend?

Thanks!

Hi,

Its been about two weeks. I have continued as instructed and still have the following symptoms:

confusion
difficulty concentrating
uncontrollable movements like blinking a lot and hand gestures
tiredness

Should I modify anything?

Thank you!

Hi Anuj,

Sorry for the late reply, I was in the hospital for about a month. I've been taking what was instructed for more than a week.

I still have

difficulty concentrating
wringing hand movements
eyes rolling back

Though its a lot less, it still preoccupies me.I basically spend most of the day walking.

Is there anything I should change?

Thanks!
