Hello Shobit ji,

I understand your concern.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ABOUT HIMALAYA MENTAT

It is an Ayurvedic herbal formulation mainly designed to support memory, concentration, mental alertness, and emotional balance.

It contains ingredients like Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, Mandukaparni, which are traditionally used for calming the mind, improving sleep quality, and reducing anxiety.

It can be helpful in mild stress, anxiety, poor sleep due to overthinking, and low mood.

❌ IS MENTAT A REPLACEMENT FOR RISPOND PLUS

No. Rispond Plus is an allopathic medicine (contains Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl) prescribed for psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe mood/behavioral disorders.

Such medicines work very differently and are much stronger than herbal formulations.

Stopping or replacing Rispond Plus with Mentat without medical guidance may cause relapse or worsening of symptoms.

✅ What Mentat can do

Supports better sleep when taken regularly (but not a sleeping pill). Helps reduce anxiety, restlessness, and irritability in mild to moderate cases. Improves clarity of thoughts, memory, and concentration. Provides gentle mood-balancing support.

⚠️ What Mentat cannot do

It cannot replace psychiatric medications in severe depression, psychosis, or bipolar disorder. It will not give instant relief like sleeping tablets. It is not a cure for major psychiatric conditions on its own.

✅ Advice for You

1. If your symptoms are mild (occasional anxiety, stress, mild low mood): Mentat can be supportive, safe to use along with a healthy lifestyle.

2. If you are already on Rispond Plus or other psychiatric medicines: Do not stop or replace them on your own. Mentat can be used as an adjunct (supportive therapy)

3. For sleep issues: Along with Mentat, practices like regular sleep schedule, Brahmi Vati, Shankhpushpi syrup, meditation, avoiding late-night screen use are more effective.

Mentat is helpful for stress, anxiety, and mild depression, but it is not a replacement for Rispond Plus. You may use it as a supportive medicine, but NOT AS A REPLACEMENT❗

Wishing you a good health 😊

It is not replacement for respond plus, You can use mentat plus along with rispond plus, it will help You can do anulom vilom and bhramari pranayam also

Hello, Mentat is useful for sleeping and depression. But surely it is replacement for rispond plus. It also helps in thoughts and mood changes; but it requires to be prescribed with other medications for which it is better to take personal consultation with an ayurveda doctor around your area. Also add yogasan-pranayama to the routine after leaning from a professional. Take care. Kind regards.

Hello Shobit

Rispond plus is an allopathy drug which cannot be substituted. Also withdrawal without proper psychiatric opinion can also be harmful.

Yes you can take mentat along with rispond as a suppliment

Also Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur own mind.

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive…

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.
