hi, i have a brother that who had health type delusions 16 months ago. he was put on effexor xl150mgs per day and seroqual xr 600mg. He improved dramatically but a few months ago , delusions started returning with accompanying panic attacks. There may have been a period of days/weeks when he may have not been taking medication but we're not 100% sure. Anyway, he'll pulled through that period and has been doing fine since which has been 2 months ish. But in the last few days there have been signs that all is not 100% well.
He had definately been taking his medication since so it looks very dissappointing. And I know the advice will be to get him back to get his meds checked asap but its not that simple with him as he's an unwilling patient. I was just interested in has anyone any experience of medication losing its effect and any thoughts of the medication he's on? Is it a very strong dose and are they a medication that are likely to loose their effect over time?
Many thanks.
