    I actually can understand most of what you're saying even though its somewhat complicated but what really shines through is your enthusiasm for everything mental health related and your sincere desire to explain it to the world! Thank you, as someone who has suffered and got relief from a antipsychotic its nice to hear the details of how they work and what they do, I never got these details from my psychiatrist, and its interesting!!

    i am not sure which neuroleptic i took for a few months (took many different meds on my journey to find the right one and each needs a few weeks to take effect and a few weeks to flush it out before you can introduce a new one). i just remember how it felt being under the neuroleptics influence. it put me in a weird paradox. i would listen to a conversation in the room, become aware i should be able to contribute to it and then could not. feeling trapped in my head wasn't nice. i am fine with being made stupid but at least make it so i am not aware of it^^. you too have a wonderful day.

      I have been told to take Gabapentin daily, which is like pregablin, and quetiapine at night. I am curious why these antiepileptics are prescribed for psychiatric illness, is it to calm down neural activity or whàt? I suspect it tones down mania somewhat.

    Hello, Dr. Syl my friend was on 10 mg of Abilify for auditory hallucinations with paranoia and anxiety it did not help much then the doctor added Olanzipine slowly increased from 5 to 10 mg.

    @nobodyimportant7804 19 днів тому

    I think of the generations of antipsychotics by its prevalence of extrapyramidal side effects. Other than that, they all have the same painful side effects.
    Since psych meds have never helped me - I have tried every since category of psych med except MAOI because of neuro issues and other non-psych meds that work well that I would have to stop taking - but they have caused a huge list of painful problems so I categorize them by side-effect. There are 5 categories from annoying to feels-like-death and risperidone is in the latter category. Lasted three days on it.
    "There are treatments for these side effects". Yeah, that is how people get on 6 or more medications. That is not a solution.

      It's an effective treatment for short term acute agitation and mania. It's very sedating due to a high affinity for serotonin. It's useful as a PRN but I wouldn't use it long term if you have any other option. I'm going to save you ten years of research, just go and buy Nassir Ghaemi's book on pharmacology, it is by far the best information available. Dr Josef is a very good doctor and I can't find any fault with the information he presents.
