Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor! From your question it looks that your husband has a psychotic illness, he is on separate sprinkles and risperidone 3 mg but still has auspiciousness and talks out of context. Dosage of separate is not mentioned.  From my clinical experience I can say that either the dosage of the medicine is low or maybe he is not taking it regularly. So, if you are sure of compliance, it will be very helpful to increase TH dose of risperidone to 4 mg - 6 mg in a day. Along with it, I have seen clonazepam 0.5-1 mg effective in case when patient is difficult to manage /gets very angry/unable to sleep, on as and when required basis. It is advisable to get sodium valproate levels done, to ensure that the sprinkles are providing adequate among of Chat Doctor. Please donor loose hope, it is not at all difficult to manage such cases, what is needed is dose adjustment and make sure he takes the medicine daily, and he will start behaving normally once again. You have said that your husband developed this illness after he was given date rape
