Dear Debashis,
Ridazine-Thioridazine has ben withdrawn from the UK because of ONE study that showed a likelihood of causing changes in ECG in ELDERLY persons receiving HIGH doses.
Luckily, thioridazine is still available in India. You should not jump to the conclusion that it is or has been harmful to you, unless your cardiologist categorically states so.
At the same time, the medicines and the doses you mention are NOT treating schizophrenia. They are more likely keeping you stable in a partially treated depression (Depsonil and Stablon are both antidepressants, Thioridazine is an anxiolytic at the dose of 50 mg)!!.
