Q: I have a sleep disorder since 10 years. I also have behaviour problems. Presently I am taking Desval, Oleanz and Sizodon tablets after consulting a psychiatrist. Can these be avoided by Yoga?
A:No, Yoga is not a substitute for these medications. Please do not stop these medications without consulting your doctor.
