Where on earth did you see that?🤷
I assume we are dealing with schizophrenia here (maybe some paranoia too), but since the improper treatment caused a bad episode to resurface, he needs Modiodol.
Azolar is an antipsychotic, and he takes it because of the hallucinations, the voices, and those kinds of things.
Lamictal is primarily an antiepileptic, which is why he takes such a relatively high dose. He can go up to 400 mg...
He will be getting Modiodol until the doctor decides otherwise.
There are some side effects, sure, but nothing catastrophic.
As for Azolar—I don't know, I've never actually heard of anyone taking it, even though I am aware of it.
Lamictal is an excellent medication. It has minimal side effects and is easy to tolerate.
It's taken to prevent seizures, because combining certain medications can lead to that kind of state.
So you think you know everything, huh? Well, join the club. I'm right there with you. 😁 Haha, who do you think you are, some kind of medical expert? At this rate, you might as well just write out my entire prescription for me while you're at it. 😉
