Antipsychotics also ruined my life for 15 years and they didn't make me more stable either, they made me suicidal and unmotivated, gave me anhedonia and ruined my sex life, destroyed my cognitive abilities and impaired my judgement. It didn't prevent me from exhibiting behaviors that got in me in trouble, they just made me so dumb and depressed that I couldn't defend myself against abusive people. Been off meds for almost 3 years and I finally got my learners permit, got one of my GED tests done, got my first job, plan on going to college to be a chemical engineer. Forced psychiatry is not ethical, it's genocide. I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life just because of how people came to view me because of the way I was on meds.
These drugs are dangerous when I was on some of them I got arrhythmias and had to quit immediately. Nothing good here and the doctors need to burn in hell for this shit. Feeling bad off the side effects daily this is so disturbing
I’m an Indian doctor, just graduated med school and preparing for post graduate entrance exam called “NEET PG”. And lecturio lessons have really helped me a lot. The explanation are crisp and detailed, to the point. Thanks Lecturio. 🥰
If you are a doctor, than please review the many new videos, research papers, and books that speak to the harm of using these. It's very much like the over-use of antibiotics. MDs don't even think its possible to "treat" with talk therapy. You whole training is prepared you to prescribe. Now you must stop that behavior. Stop before you start is easier to stop after you start. ruclips.net/video/XOCM88LzCOY/видео.html
Hi. After 8 weeks on Truxal, Risperidon and Quetiapin I have Anxiety and severe muscle pain, that don't go away. I stopped the drugs 6 months ago. What should I do? It is so crazy that this happened to me. Thank you, Elen
I had akathisia for well over 2 years.. it ruined my life.. these drugs shouldn't be approved by the FDA.. and doctors should be so careful what they're doing to their patients..
they say even what you eat (or not eat) have an impact on how your brain works, lack of iron for example will have a negative impact on your brain, i mean lack of nutrients in general can drive you crazy, depressive, ....and add to that your genetic propensity and you will end up needing psychiatric drugs, at the same time you are going through this tsunami you have to maintain a job to support yourself, what are the other "quick" options to fix a malfunctiong brain? change diet? separate from toxic people? sure but how to make it when your brain is having a hard time taking desicions and actions, at the same time one have obligations, that's why many people end up taking psychiatric drugs hoping for a quick fix at least a t fixing symptoms
00:04 Antipsychotics are categorized as typical and atypical, both of which work by blocking dopamine receptors to reduce psychotic symptoms. 01:28 Atypical antipsychotics are better for treating negative symptoms, but can cause sedation, weight gain, and metabolic problems. 02:43 Neuroleptics have various administration options and uses. 03:55 High-potency typical antipsychotics have significant side effects related to dopamine blockade. 05:14 Antipsychotics can cause movement-related side effects such as masked facies, cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia, and akathisia. 06:26 Tardive dyskinesia is more common in elderly Caucasian women when treated with antipsychotics. 07:47 Traditional antipsychotic side effects include anti dopaminergic effects. 08:57 Antipsychotics have various side effect
I looked at several research studies and there are conflicting results. Some said that Risperidone increased cognitive function, and several studies say cognition is negatively impacted. Here's a study that reports a negative impact. I hope this helps answer your question. www.jneuropsychiatry.org/peer-review/urgent-need-to-assess-the-longterm-impact-of-the-psychotropic-medications-on-the-cognitive-profile-among-youth-with-bipolar-disord.html
I am so glad you asked this! Yes it absolutely does. There is scientific evidence that all antipsychotics shrink the brain. Studies done specifically on this matter have showed this is correct. It is terrifying to know that the government and psychiatrists are aware of this and do not discuss this with their patients or put it on the warning label of the bottle. It effects the frontal lobe, causing memory loss. They also effects your cognition. Know scientific fact. It is scary to think this is not discussed with the patient. In fact it is despicable and out right disgusting! Are they trying to kill off the mentally ill? It absolutely shrinks the brain and over long periods of time leads to death. Sickening to think you have to dig for this information.
I was on haldol for a month and 3 months on geodon and it killed my excitement for life, is there ANY way to restore receptors to my old normal levels? D2 agonists? What about histamine and serotonin ?
Try looking into herbals.Ur 5ht2 receptors are probably downregulated and dopamine receptors upregulated.Saint johns wort should upregulate 5ht2 and possibly downregulate d2.Haldol is also proven to be neurotoxic.Herbals should restore some of that.I suggest u look into neurogenic compounds in general
Ugh I took haldol by mistake the person who give it to me thought they were valiums, I had a severe acute dystonia crisis, it was one if not the worst day of my life.
Never. You have brain damage because of the antipsychotics just like I do and many people I know do. Your brain will never be the same. Psychiatrists are criminals who prescribe these Big Pharma drugs which are neurotoxins and they destroy peoples lives and they get away with it. They get paid a lot of money in fact. And try to hire a lawyer after they’ve destroyed your brain, your body and your life. No attorney is going to take your case because they’re too expensive and Difficult to litigate
Wouldn't taking anti psychotics over time cause your brain to try to compensate for lower dopamine by releasing more? Making the psychotic symptoms worse over time?
if you stop, yes, during withdrawal. During taking it not, because the dopamine receptors available will just be hypersensitive but not enough dopamine is released to make it worse.
Palliative and Late Stage Psychosis as in Iatrogenic Neuroleptic Malignant Syndromes (NMS) is simply euthanasia as neither Dopamine or Neurotransmission is possible because of cachexia or complete deterioration of the Central Nervous System otherwise the Brain.
over time you have to take more to get the same effect. Mainstream psychiatry doesn't like to admit this, its called dopamine supersensitivity. I have it right now and cant sleep because I have stopped the medication after 20 years and now HAVE a real chemical imbalance. Too much dopamine.
In October 2016 at the age of 30, I had a brief psychotic episode. I was on olanzapine and risperidone for a few months until about July 2017 when I switched to 40 mg of lurasidone along with 1.25 mg of lorazepam to offset the side-effects of anxiety. Ever since treatment began, I have had erectile dysfunction, weak orgasms, and frequent difficulty achieving ejaculation. In December 2019 I had to increase lorazepam to 2.5 mg. In August 2021, I began to taper both medications. On July 28, 2022, tapering was complete and both medications were completely discontinued. However, symptoms of sexual dysfunction persist with little to no improvement. What is the probability that proper sexual function will never return without treatment? Any help is appreciated.
To sum it up: This particular class of drugs wrongly called antipsychotics despite having no antipsychotic effects -- they've no positive impact on hallucinations (as a matter of fact those drugs themselves too can cause hallucinations referred as extrapyramidal effect of the drugs) and deliriums--are dubbed major tranquilizers. Those drugs often given to patients simply to make them docile and easily manageable in order to increase the comfort of hospital staff at the expense of harming their both physical and mental health, and needless to say that this is totally unethical. Those side effects mentioned here are actually irreversable adverse effects which would appear in every single recipient in life time use of these drugs. It's also important to note that at the time when thosee patients try to quit those drugs they suffer from withdrawals which are similar to the ones drug addicts and alcoholics experience when they can't find drug or alcohol. That's why those patients should strongly be warned that they shouldn't abruptly cut these drugs due to their harmful and even deadly withdrawals. Beware that when they're given patients against their will without getting their free and informed consent it constitues dergrading or inhuman, cruel treatment due to their hazardous and dysfiguring effects according to the UN convention that aims to prevent torture, degrading or inhuman , cruel treatment. and punishment.

Thank dog for your enlightened comments! We don't need doctors anymore, throw away medical diplomas, some random opinionated dumbass know-it-all is all we need. Who needs hospitals labs or colleges when we have youtube comments? Fuck off.
@@sheldonspock5566 You need doctors for genuine medical conditions. As for medically nonexistent problems stay away from the ones who abuse science and medicine.
I reckon w/u on that 1, Ms. Miller; especially when taken in conjunction w/Zyprexa (olanzapine). Those last 2 meds eventually prompted me 2 go psych med-free on 1/1/2017 after being on 30+ different psych meds (from age 4 in 1971; I'm 55 now) ovr a 40+ yr period. The negative effects far outweigh the so-called "benefits" RE: all psych meds. Even worse; it's amazing how meds r MANDATORY/REQUIRED as "treatment" 4 mental health conditions but OPTIONAL 4 other health conditions (especially RE: insulin 4 diabetes). I mention this bc lots of health care pros luv 2 equ8 mental health w/diabetes as an "incentive" 2 take these poisonous psych meds. Well; not all diabetics take insulin & there's NOTHING MANDATORY/REQUIRED RE: INSULIN as treatment 4 diabetes so y do health care pros insist on a mand8/requirement 4 meds as "treatment" 4 depression, schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, & other mental health conditions? Furthermore; Mental Health Conditions r ENVIRONMENTAL IMBALANCES (NOT CHEMICAL IMBALANCES). In other words; it's usually how other people (mis)handle & (mis)treat u (especially when abuse, bullying,,& harassment r involved).
I think that one of the major problem is that the drugs given once are not monitored and adjusted or withdrawn very timely as per the brain chemistry changes. I think there is no advanced system til now that can tell the status of dopamine and the no of receptors on a daily basis. In schizophrenia it is supposed that there is hyperactivity of the dopamine system in a specific region of the brain. So the drug that blocks the receptors are given. Consider an example, let us suppose there is 5mg of dopamine and 100 receptors in a normal healthy person. So 5 x 100 = 500 units could be the total expected value. Now in schizophrenia it is said that there is abnormal production of dopamine. Let it be for example 10mg. Now 10 x 100 = 1000 units. So the doctors try to block some receptors to avoid this overactivity. Suppose a drug can block down the no of receptors to 50. Now 10 mg of dopa x 50 receptors = 500 units of activity which becomes equal to the nornal brain activity. So a patient may experience a relief BUT I think the real problem starts from here onward as I think that the excessive amount of dopamine produced in the brain gets back to normal i.e 5mg within a couple of days but the patient is on the same drug that blocks the receptors and he has only 50 working receptors. So 5mg of dopa x 50 receptors = 250 units of total dopa activity. Meanwhile, brain tries to heal itself and thus can create 50 new receptors to reach the total normal no of 100 receptors. Later after a couple of weeks or months when the doctors try to retrieve the drug, the receptors total comes out to be 150 (old ones plus new ones). At this stage an overactivity can occur as 5mg of dopa x 150 receptors= 750units of total activity which is much greater than the normal. This can again cause the symptoms of schizophrenia. So mistakenly more drugs could be started assuming that withdrawal of the drug is the reason. This can develop into a dangerous cycle of spoiling the right no of receptors and drugging again and again. I think there should be a system of advance examination of the amount of dopamine in the brain and the drugs are to be retrieved quickly as soon as the excessive dopamine gets dissolved naturally. Hence right dosage of the drug and its timely withdrawal is very important.
Such a dangerous journey for unsuspecting patients. I hate the fact that Doctors have never been formally trained in getting patients off these meds slowly and safely. I hate the fact doctors down play withdrawals after two weeks. When will this madness end? I mean they still use the ”chemical imbalance” theory. A 50 year old theory is driving the market and making Big Harma billions in profits.
Brendan; They also downplay the negative effects these meds cause while u take 'em. The instant the negative effects appear & u address the issue 2 the drs, the most common reply is "U haven't gvn them (the psych meds) enough timev2 work. Give 'em another 2-3 weeks & we'll c if the (negative) effects r still present then I'll determine from there". That type of ignorance usually leads 2 malpractice suits.
@@enterbalak Aa the old adage goes; "Hindsight's 20/20". UDK what ur age is but I'm 55 (DOB: 7/20/1967). Back in the 1970s, psych meds were NOT "child-friendly". Furthermore; the harmful effects of psych meds were hidden from the public. There4; research as such was very "challenging" (relatively speaking). Nvrthlss; personal experiences r always the best judgment of such matters but the dismissive & condescending nature of the medical field (especially those involved w/mental health) further complic8s those harmful effects. In other words; when u address the harmful effects that u r having, they (medical/mental health personnel) dismiss/downplay ur feedback & experiences.

Intelligent rational people are the healthiest people of all... if doctors actually cared, they would not give patients treatment that caused suffering for the patients...
I’m experiencing chronic side effects from antipsychotics. Chronic aches and pains, chronic fatigue, mental anguish, depression, insomnia, vomiting. They’ve disabled me as I’m struggling to shower, brush teeth, change clothes, cook, do the house chores. I guess I’m one of the unlucky ones. These medications aren’t safe. Beware!
"Anti-psychotics" (neuroleptics) do not exert their therapeutic (pharmacological target) effects on psychosis (positive symptoms of schizophrenia) by rectifying a brain abnormality, such as a chemical imbalance, nor do they target any physiological process that produces the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, but rather neuroleptics suppress symptoms of schizophrenia, by a profound slowing up and dampening down of mental processes by putting a brake on dopaminergic neurotransmission - they arrest natural brain function. Neuroleptics are major tranquilizers, neurological inhibitors, suppressants and depressants of the central nervous system. Neuroleptic means "nerve seizing". Neuroleptics work to treat psychosis by disrupting normal brain function in the reward (mesolimbic) pathway, and in the mesocortical pathway - connecting to the frontal lobe (the part of our brain that makes us human). Neuroleptics do not exert their psychosis-treating effects by targeting an underlying brain abnormality, such as a chemical imbalance, i.e. dysregulation of the dopaminergic neurotransmitter system, ie. overactivity of dopamine neurotransmission in the dopaminergic pathways: mesolimbic (reward), mesocortical (humanity), nigrostriatal (target of antiparkinsonian agents), and tuberoinfundibular (hormones, i.e. prolactin). Neuroleptics do not reverse any known disease process. There is no (sufficient) evidence that a lesion in the dopaminergic pathways is the primary cause of schizophrenia. Neuroleptics seize the central nervous system, dampen down dopaminergic brain activity, suppress function by occupying 70% - 90% dopamine D2 receptors. Neuroleptics are first and foremost psychoactive drugs. Their psychoactive effects (their global alterations of physical and mental states) treat symptoms of schizophrenia. Neuroleptics are not antidotes for psychosis. Neuroleptics are not disease-specific treatments in schizophrenia, but rather mind altering agents producing such mental and physical alterations that suppress symptoms (superimpose upon the symptoms that they are treating). Neuroleptic effects (target and side effects) may be useful in treating (dampening down) psychotic states, but that depends on the context. They do not exert their therapeutic effects by reversing or rectifying a disease process, nor are they curative agents; they cannot cure psychosis, nor prevent, nor decrease the probability that one will become ill or lessen the severity of the illness (quite the contrary!).
Proven fact, your brain development is effected by evnironmental factors. This creating our consciousness. Everything we go through, tragedy, hurt, pain, love, emotions, all great consciousness. Therefore this creates the way of thinking, and they way we react, physical and emotionally. So how can one call this a chemical reaction without proof? Proven fact schizophrenic brains are smaller and have larger brain ventricles. The cause of this is antipsychotics. It's sickening to watch what psychiatrist are doing and the government to move the narrative in this direction. More people need to be aware of this.
*SCHIZOPHRENIA TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGH: My heart goes out to everyone who have or cares for a mentally ill person, there should be no shame. I once believed Schizophrenia or mental illness has no cure. Well, it is true with antipsychotic medicine, but not with Consummo Herbal Medicine. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical medicine, no magic pill that has any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease. My daughter's experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through the wonders of herbs. My daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia many years ago. I spent more time in hospital than out of hospital. She had a major breakthrough only with CONSUMMO treatment. She has been well and living her best life. While there may be other different options to look into, never make your own success path a secret. I consider myself an advocate for people who don’t have a voice. I don't want people to feel that suicide is their only option.

Me I took loads of magic mushrooms for days great time. The last time was the worst experience of my life tho haha. I’m definitely going to try micro dosing on them next month.
Yay can’t wait for that, I took risperidone 4mg for one month and it’s already taken away 3 months of my life, pretty sure it’s gonna take away a few years off my life because of the withdraw effects that are not physical just all mental but indescribable effects that I would not relate to my natural depression. I’m running three miles a day and fighting to feel normal but it’s so hard when nothing satisfies me
@@JZGreengo take multivitamins, fish oil, sunflower oil and nicotine gum. Hopefully that will help. It will take 3-48 months before your brain returns to normal.
They were trying to make me a ward of the state a few years ago because I was so messed up on meds. They gave me delusions and hallucinations and ticks and muscle twitching and strange impulsive behaviors. It's really dangerous to toy with the human mind.
A.C. Artist; H.F.Y.!!!!! After all; if psychiatrists (& mental health personnel overall including "technicians") r the experts, they SHOULD b on these meds 1st b4 prescribing them 2 patients. W/that said, they know how harmful these meds really r. Then again; the mental health system has been corrupted by "Big Pharma" so u really knows whom's 2 "blame" RE knowledge of the harmful effects of psych meds?
I have been taking Quietipene and anti-Depressants for approx 18 years put weight on felt like ive been Drunk for 18 years had 3 heart attacks .4 Stokes and a brain haemorage ive never smoked was reasonibly fit untill i started on my meds !!!!!
These drugs changed my life for the better. I dealt with untreated chronic psychosis for nearly a decade and after multiple suicide attempts, so many failed classes, developing a nutrient deficiency bc I was so disorganized I couldn't even remember to feed myself, etc I finally started a low dose of aripiprazole. I can think clearer and I've been pretty much psychosis free since I started them a year and a half ago. I work full time and have creative hobbies that I love. I see a future for myself now, when I used to be convinced by my delusions that I had to kill myself or terrible things would happen. My mind is sharper; less muddled and scattered. Not saying they're a miracle drug for everyone or that they don't harm some people - as a matter of fact, I think they're grossly overprescribed and often make people worse - but they DO help some of us. I don't really have side effects, I guess my emotions aren't as extremely intense as they used to be but I usually consider that a pro because I felt suicidally awful all the time, and now when I'm feeling bad, I just feel a normal amount of bad. Yes, these drugs can be dangerous, but they're not bad for everyone. I think for cases like mine, where someone had chronic life threatening psychosis for years, the risk of taking neuroleptics is worth it. Not so much for depression/anxiety or first episode mild psychosis. Every drug has its pros and cons and they must be weighed carefully!
It can. I believe its not as bad as other antipshychotics. I took it and didnt gain much. 2 -3 pounds? Mind you, I took myself off of it after 3 months. I steer away from any antipsychotics. They are effective because they numb your brain.
NO - This is helpful to YOU. This is helpful for your patients. ruclips.net/video/XOCM88LzCOY/видео.html These drugs are causing the same problems that the overuse of antibotics have. Doctors have start to think of these things as candy with no though given to the long-term harm. Did you know these things shorten life-span on average by 10 years? (That's excluding suicides because many time patients who are put on these drugs with no prior history of suicidal ideation end up killing themselves.) My sister was put on these drugs. Shortly (< 1 year) she attempted suicide. Not more than 3 months and she tried again. 2 years later and she was getting worst with all her symptoms. She was taken off by a new psychiatrist. Just 3 - 4 months after being taken off, she tried again. We didn't know what to do. The new psychiatrist was not an MD but a DO. She used talk therapy and sleep medications. Now its been 7 years and her problems are gone. No more depression. No more bi-annual hospitalizations. No suicide attempts. She's again became the strong woman she was before the first quack psychiatrist put her on anti-psychotics following child-birth depression. Her ex-husband was the one who had talked her psychiatrist into this. He was a narcists and drove her to her wits end with his mind games. She need emotional clarity not drugs that caused her to fall into his trap.
My Mom has a dementia delusion (very very rare delusion happens) she got prescribed antipsychotic. I don't get why she has to take antipsychotic when she barely has ANY delusions. Very very rarely she has them.
As in all medication, the risks must be weighed against the benefits. Antipsychotics have risks, but so do bipolar mania, psychotic and depressive episodes. In all circumstances, risks must be discussed and weighed. Side effects don't happen in every patient, but they also are not uncommon. Knowing what the side effects are, and switching to another med/Tx may be required. Judicious use of these medication's benefits more often outweigh the symptoms of the disorder being treated. But every patient must evaluate this for their own lives, with the help of their healthcare provider, and possibly family members. Making a rash judgment call to "avoid these medications," because they have side effects, isn't always the best answer either. ECT or suffering with the symptoms are the other options. Not always good outcomes with those options either.
Have you actually read all the side effects? Because if you did you would know antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage, and brain damage of the frontal lobe, causing memory loss. Eventually leading to premature death. More people die of this than suicide. Your thoughts? Read statistics, scientific research, studies, and reports before you spout on about the benefits and risks you have no idea about. False information kills people. Read everything, not just what you wanna here. These are government studies. Psychiatrist will not tell you. You have to find this information out on your own. Study, educate yourself. Not everything you here is the truth. Believe nothing of what you here, and only half of what you see. The truth is out there, but not easily available. Research, research, research! Don't stop! You will find, your conscience open, and learn more than you ever did before. You actions and reaction will be different.

Ms. Sparks; After 30+ different psych meds ovr a 44-yr period (albeit the past 6.5.+ yrs psych med-free), I'd rather suffer w/my symptoms than take "chemical pacifiers" where negative side effects far outweigh the "benefits". Granted; it does vary amongst individuals but I'm 1 of the many whose experience w/psych meds have been negative. Some1 will need 2 force me @ weapon -point (i.e.: gun or knife) 2 take psych meds ever again (& even then; highly unlikely). I'll take death ovr dishonor (& psych meds r very dishonorable from where I stand).
You must be a psychopath if you’re congratulating them for making videos which encourage people to become a psychiatrist and destroy the lives of people like myself and many other people I know with neurotoxic big Pharma drugs. What the f.ck is wrong with you anyway?
Dont start it! If you want help from medication please look into Nootropics. Substances that promote healthy brain chemistry without destroying your brain.
ME! Just over 20 years and stopped, it has taken me ages and went through HELL!!! Massive chronic brain injury during the withdrawal and all those side effects going on the drug can happen during the taper including psychosis and they will just put you back on. Be careful, I lost 20years of my life. I still have problems possibly for life now.

I think the patient responses have made it very clear what kind of efficacy, or lack there of, these medications have. It's preposterous that psychiatrists can force this psuedo bull shit down your throat or shove a needle in you. People like that deserve prison, they must have some pretty grandiouse opinions of themselves to think that they can be an arbitor of normalcy.
shanti arnab in the deepest most fundemental and essential way possible. Completley destroyd the mechanisms in my brain that are responsible for producing joy. And its on a very fundamental level. Hard to explain with text. But ill swap anyday day for heroin or benzo withdrawals or any other drug Because they go away after a time. Everything goes away. Not this.
After taking antipsychotics, and any psychiatric drug you could think of (and I never even had a psychosis) since age 15, now in my late twenties, I feel it took much of my cognition and overall health from me. I gained a lot of weight since then and need to watch diabetes etc. Also I think this is by design, they didn't even tell about this before. Basically, life out you could forget about a career in full time working in this condition and am impaired. But maybe that's the "healing" effect wished for in these "medications" Now I came to the knowledge, there was never anything wrong with me or my brain, but every thing wrong with these child-poisoners. Shame on them. I also came to the conclusion, thatl God is my HEALER, and their healing is conned, fake magic show. Wolf in Sheep's clothing also racist, eugenics and fascist. I do hope there will be less victims as more and more people become aware of this all around the world. Sorry for my English, I live in germany
healing effect wished for by these medications. There is none. The side effects are horrendous one of the biggest is they cause lack of motivation. If you are already mentally weak you wont be able to do a job hell not even voluntary work. THey are working on a new anti psycotic called KarXT. It should be a real improvement over the 20 so called medicine now.

He has been taking them now gain ubnormal weight and when he turns he uses his whole body and always tired, his arm are always in one position 😢. Is this normal? I am thinking of stopping him from using these pills
Yeah that's awful but not an antipsychotic. My doctor said he doesnt prescribe velnaxafine anymore because of these side effects. My friend succeeded getting off it, its possible. You can ask for prozac to replace it while gradually weening off.
Its getting worse...every time i take these i go on an acid trip...every single time.. One time was so bad the world dissolved into a melting pot of abstract shapes snd colours....im a little bit scared to come off them..because i start to hallucinate never ending suicide trips...ahh well...
Wow basically patients have terrible side effects whether it’s high or low potency. Seems there is only one benefits reduction of positive or negative symptoms and many side effects.
And it also makes you seek drugs, when I was meds I was drug seeking constantly because drugs were the only thing that took away the depression and help me cope with being on meds. Now I do none. I was so addicted to pot and took pills and did every drug under the sun and couldn't stop myself from impulsively doing and seeking them. I would face consequences but could stop myself from doing it, even drugs that made me feel like garbage. Then off of meds, I quit almost immediately.

The Holy Ghost will then come into your life and help you to live the way that brings life, peace and true happiness! This is the Good News of the Gospel!
clonidine, wellbutrin, and buspar have not harmed me at all; in fact, together, they have all saved my life. don't overgeneralize your hatred for antipsychotics to ALL drugs.
Antipsychotics also ruined my life for 15 years and they didn't make me more stable either, they made me suicidal and unmotivated, gave me anhedonia and ruined my sex life, destroyed my cognitive abilities and impaired my judgement. It didn't prevent me from exhibiting behaviors that got in me in trouble, they just made me so dumb and depressed that I couldn't defend myself against abusive people. Been off meds for almost 3 years and I
finally got my learners permit, got one of my GED tests done, got my first job, plan on going to college to be a chemical engineer. Forced psychiatry is not ethical, it's genocide. I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life just because of how people came to view me because of the way I was on meds.

These drugs are dangerous when I was on some of them I got arrhythmias and had to quit immediately. Nothing good here and the doctors need to burn in hell for this shit. Feeling bad off the side effects daily this is so disturbing
I have an upcoming psychopharmacology exam. I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner studying in Psychiatry. This is so helpful!
Please read the comments.
I’m an Indian doctor, just graduated med school and preparing for post graduate entrance exam called “NEET PG”. And lecturio lessons have really helped me a lot. The explanation are crisp and detailed, to the point. Thanks Lecturio. 🥰
If you are a doctor, than please review the many new videos, research papers, and books that speak to the harm of using these. It's very much like the over-use of antibiotics. MDs don't even think its possible to "treat" with talk therapy. You whole training is prepared you to prescribe. Now you must stop that behavior. Stop before you start is easier to stop after you start.

Hold on without Antipsychotica❤
I had akathisia for well over 2 years.. it ruined my life.. these drugs shouldn't be approved by the FDA.. and doctors should be so careful what they're doing to their patients..
they say even what you eat (or not eat) have an impact on how your brain works, lack of iron for example will have a negative impact on your brain, i mean lack of nutrients in general can drive you crazy, depressive, ....and add to that your genetic propensity and you will end up needing psychiatric drugs, at the same time you are going through this tsunami you have to maintain a job to support yourself, what are the other "quick" options to fix a malfunctiong brain? change diet? separate from toxic people? sure but how to make it when your brain is having a hard time taking desicions and actions, at the same time one have obligations, that's why many people end up taking psychiatric drugs hoping for a quick fix at least a t fixing symptoms
00:04 Antipsychotics are categorized as typical and atypical, both of which work by blocking dopamine receptors to reduce psychotic symptoms.
01:28 Atypical antipsychotics are better for treating negative symptoms, but can cause sedation, weight gain, and metabolic problems.
02:43 Neuroleptics have various administration options and uses.
03:55 High-potency typical antipsychotics have significant side effects related to dopamine blockade.
05:14 Antipsychotics can cause movement-related side effects such as masked facies, cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia, and akathisia.

Yes it does. All psych meds kill your brain.
I am so glad you asked this! Yes it absolutely does. There is scientific evidence that all antipsychotics shrink the brain. Studies done specifically on this matter have showed this is correct. It is terrifying to know that the government and psychiatrists are aware of this and do not discuss this with their patients or put it on the warning label of the bottle. It effects the frontal lobe, causing memory loss. They also effects your cognition. Know scientific fact. It is scary to think this is not discussed with the patient. In fact it is despicable and out right disgusting! Are they trying to kill off the mentally ill? It absolutely shrinks the brain and over long periods of time leads to death. Sickening to think you have to dig for this information.
I was on haldol for a month and 3 months on geodon and it killed my excitement for life, is there ANY way to restore receptors to my old normal levels? D2 agonists? What about histamine and serotonin ?
Try looking into herbals.Ur 5ht2 receptors are probably downregulated and dopamine receptors upregulated.Saint johns wort should upregulate 5ht2 and possibly downregulate d2.Haldol is also proven to be neurotoxic.Herbals should restore some of that.I suggest u look into neurogenic compounds in general
Good to hear your off Haldol.
Nasty stuff.
Ugh I took haldol by mistake the person who give it to me thought they were valiums, I had a severe acute dystonia crisis, it was one if not the worst day of my life.
Ever tried Seroquel? Or resperidol? These are newer and might be better.
Haloperidol is an older med if I am correct.
when do feelings come back after antipsychotics?
Never. You have brain damage because of the antipsychotics just like I do and many people I know do. Your brain will never be the same. Psychiatrists are criminals who prescribe these Big Pharma drugs which are neurotoxins and they destroy peoples lives and they get away with it. They get paid a lot of money in fact. And try to hire a lawyer after they’ve destroyed your brain, your body and your life. No attorney is going to take your case because they’re too expensive and Difficult to litigate
4 days or so
They never do. The meds actually shrink the brain.

Wouldn't taking anti psychotics over time cause your brain to try to compensate for lower dopamine by releasing more? Making the psychotic symptoms worse over time?
if you stop, yes, during withdrawal. During taking it not, because the dopamine receptors available will just be hypersensitive but not enough dopamine is released to make it worse.
Justin Van Yes, and for most people, taking them longer than 2 or 3 years actually can make psychosis worse.
Palliative and Late Stage Psychosis as in Iatrogenic Neuroleptic Malignant Syndromes (NMS) is simply euthanasia as neither Dopamine or Neurotransmission is possible because of cachexia or complete deterioration of the Central Nervous System otherwise the Brain.
over time you have to take more to get the same effect. Mainstream psychiatry doesn't like to admit this, its called dopamine supersensitivity. I have it right now and cant sleep because I have stopped the medication after 20 years and now HAVE a real chemical imbalance. Too much dopamine.
New neurotransmitters grow overtime to compensate for the drug, slow but it happens.
In October 2016 at the age of 30, I had a brief psychotic episode.
I was on olanzapine and risperidone for a few months until about July 2017 when I switched to 40 mg of lurasidone along with 1.25 mg of lorazepam to offset the side-effects of anxiety. Ever since treatment began, I have had erectile dysfunction, weak orgasms, and frequent difficulty achieving ejaculation.
In December 2019 I had to increase lorazepam to 2.5 mg.
In August 2021, I began to taper both medications.
On July 28, 2022, tapering was complete and both medications were completely discontinued. However, symptoms of sexual dysfunction persist with little to no improvement.
What is the probability that proper sexual function will never return without treatment?
Any help is appreciated.
To sum it up: This particular class of drugs wrongly called antipsychotics despite having no antipsychotic effects -- they've no positive impact on hallucinations (as a matter of fact those drugs themselves too can cause hallucinations referred as extrapyramidal effect of the drugs) and deliriums--are dubbed major tranquilizers.
Those drugs often given to patients simply to make them docile and easily manageable in order to increase the comfort of hospital staff at the expense of harming their both physical and mental health, and needless to say that this is totally unethical.
Those side effects mentioned here are actually irreversable adverse effects which would appear in every single recipient in life time use of these drugs. It's also important to note that at the time when thosee patients try to quit those drugs they suffer from withdrawals which are similar to the ones drug addicts and alcoholics experience when they can't find drug or alcohol. That's why those patients should strongly be warned that they shouldn't abruptly cut these drugs due to their harmful and even deadly withdrawals.
Beware that when they're given patients against their will without getting their free and informed consent it constitues dergrading or inhuman, cruel treatment due to their hazardous and dysfiguring effects according to the UN convention that aims to prevent torture, degrading or inhuman , cruel treatment. and punishment.

After taking depakote my brain got sore and started burning that is one of the side effects from depakote.
I reckon w/u on that 1, Ms. Miller; especially when taken in conjunction w/Zyprexa (olanzapine). Those last 2 meds eventually prompted me 2 go psych med-free on 1/1/2017 after being on 30+ different psych meds (from age 4 in 1971; I'm 55 now) ovr a 40+ yr period. The negative effects far outweigh the so-called "benefits" RE: all psych meds. Even worse; it's amazing how meds r MANDATORY/REQUIRED as "treatment" 4 mental health conditions but OPTIONAL 4 other health conditions (especially RE: insulin 4 diabetes). I mention this bc lots of health care pros luv 2 equ8 mental health w/diabetes as an "incentive" 2 take these poisonous psych meds. Well; not all diabetics take insulin & there's NOTHING MANDATORY/REQUIRED RE: INSULIN as treatment 4 diabetes so y do health care pros insist on a mand8/requirement 4 meds as "treatment" 4 depression, schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, & other mental health conditions? Furthermore; Mental Health Conditions r ENVIRONMENTAL IMBALANCES (NOT CHEMICAL IMBALANCES). In other words; it's usually how other people (mis)handle & (mis)treat u (especially when abuse, bullying,,& harassment r involved).
I think that one of the major problem is that the drugs given once are not monitored and adjusted or withdrawn very timely as per the brain chemistry changes. I think there is no advanced system til now that can tell the status of dopamine and the no of receptors on a daily basis. In schizophrenia it is supposed that there is hyperactivity of the dopamine system in a specific region of the brain. So the drug that blocks the receptors are given. Consider an example, let us suppose there is 5mg of dopamine and 100 receptors in a normal healthy person. So 5 x 100 = 500 units could be the total expected value. Now in schizophrenia it is said that there is abnormal production of dopamine. Let it be for example 10mg. Now 10 x 100 = 1000 units. So the doctors try to block some receptors to avoid this overactivity. Suppose a drug can block down the no of receptors to 50. Now 10 mg of dopa x 50 receptors = 500 units of activity which becomes equal to the nornal brain activity. So a patient may experience a relief BUT I think the real problem starts from here onward as I think that the excessive amount of dopamine produced in the brain gets back to normal i.e 5mg within a couple of days but the patient is on the same drug that blocks the receptors and he has only 50 working receptors. So 5mg of dopa x 50 receptors = 250 units of total dopa activity. Meanwhile, brain tries to heal itself and thus can create 50 new receptors to reach the total normal no of 100 receptors. Later after a couple of weeks or months when the doctors try to retrieve the drug, the receptors total comes out to be 150 (old ones plus new ones). At this stage an overactivity can occur as 5mg of dopa x 150 receptors= 750units of total activity which is much greater than the normal. This can again cause the symptoms of schizophrenia. So mistakenly more drugs could be started assuming that withdrawal of the drug is the reason. This can develop into a dangerous cycle of spoiling the right no of receptors and drugging again and again. I think there should be a system of advance examination of the amount of dopamine in the brain and the drugs are to be retrieved quickly as soon as the excessive dopamine gets dissolved naturally. Hence right dosage of the drug and its timely withdrawal is very important.
"Dopamine blockade"...would that equal, NOT FEEL GOOD or HAPPY? That is certainly what people say that Thorazine does to them!
Yes, that is the case.
Patient's with schizophrenia taking antipsychotics had a 308% increased colon cancer risk
Such a dangerous journey for unsuspecting patients. I hate the fact that Doctors have never been formally trained in getting patients off these meds slowly and safely. I hate the fact doctors down play withdrawals after two weeks. When will this madness end? I mean they still use the ”chemical imbalance” theory. A 50 year old theory is driving the market and making Big Harma billions in profits.
Brendan; They also downplay the negative effects these meds cause while u take 'em. The instant the negative effects appear & u address the issue 2 the drs, the most common reply is "U haven't gvn them (the psych meds) enough timev2 work. Give 'em another 2-3 weeks & we'll c if the (negative) effects r still present then I'll determine from there". That type of ignorance usually leads 2 malpractice suits.

I’m experiencing chronic side effects from antipsychotics. Chronic aches and pains, chronic fatigue, mental anguish, depression, insomnia, vomiting. They’ve disabled me as I’m struggling to shower, brush teeth, change clothes, cook, do the house chores. I guess I’m one of the unlucky ones. These medications aren’t safe. Beware!
They aren't safe. The first antipsychotic I took (Respridone) actually made my brain feel like it was on fire.
"Anti-psychotics" (neuroleptics) do not exert their therapeutic (pharmacological target) effects on psychosis (positive symptoms of schizophrenia) by rectifying a brain abnormality, such as a chemical imbalance, nor do they target any physiological process that produces the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, but rather neuroleptics suppress symptoms of schizophrenia, by a profound slowing up and dampening down of mental processes by putting a brake on dopaminergic neurotransmission - they arrest natural brain function. Neuroleptics are major tranquilizers, neurological inhibitors, suppressants and depressants of the central nervous system. Neuroleptic means "nerve seizing". Neuroleptics work to treat psychosis by disrupting normal brain function in the reward (mesolimbic) pathway, and in the mesocortical pathway - connecting to the frontal lobe (the part of our brain that makes us human). Neuroleptics do not exert their psychosis-treating effects by targeting an underlying brain abnormality, such as a chemical imbalance, i.e. dysregulation of the dopaminergic neurotransmitter system, ie. overactivity of dopamine neurotransmission in the dopaminergic pathways: mesolimbic (reward), mesocortical (humanity), nigrostriatal (target of antiparkinsonian agents), and tuberoinfundibular (hormones, i.e. prolactin). Neuroleptics do not reverse any known disease process. There is no (sufficient) evidence that a lesion in the dopaminergic pathways is the primary cause of schizophrenia. Neuroleptics seize the central nervous system, dampen down dopaminergic brain activity, suppress function by occupying 70% - 90% dopamine D2 receptors. Neuroleptics are first and foremost psychoactive drugs. Their psychoactive effects (their global alterations of physical and mental states) treat symptoms of schizophrenia. Neuroleptics are not antidotes for psychosis. Neuroleptics are not disease-specific treatments in schizophrenia, but rather mind altering agents producing such mental and physical alterations that suppress symptoms (superimpose upon the symptoms that they are treating). Neuroleptic effects (target and side effects) may be useful in treating (dampening down) psychotic states, but that depends on the context. They do not exert their therapeutic effects by reversing or rectifying a disease process, nor are they curative agents; they cannot cure psychosis, nor prevent, nor decrease the probability that one will become ill or lessen the severity of the illness (quite the contrary!).
Proven fact, your brain development is effected by evnironmental factors. This creating our consciousness. Everything we go through, tragedy, hurt, pain, love, emotions, all great consciousness. Therefore this creates the way of thinking, and they way we react, physical and emotionally. So how can one call this a chemical reaction without proof? Proven fact schizophrenic brains are smaller and have larger brain ventricles. The cause of this is antipsychotics. It's sickening to watch what psychiatrist are doing and the government to move the narrative in this direction. More people need to be aware of this.

These drugs changed my life for the better. I dealt with untreated chronic psychosis for nearly a decade and after multiple suicide attempts, so many failed classes, developing a nutrient deficiency bc I was so disorganized I couldn't even remember to feed myself, etc I finally started a low dose of aripiprazole. I can think clearer and I've been pretty much psychosis free since I started them a year and a half ago. I work full time and have creative hobbies that I love. I see a future for myself now, when I used to be convinced by my delusions that I had to kill myself or terrible things would happen. My mind is sharper; less muddled and scattered.
Not saying they're a miracle drug for everyone or that they don't harm some people - as a matter of fact, I think they're grossly overprescribed and often make people worse - but they DO help some of us. I don't really have side effects, I guess my emotions aren't as extremely intense as they used to be but I usually consider that a pro because I felt suicidally awful all the time, and now when I'm feeling bad, I just feel a normal amount of bad.
Yes, these drugs can be dangerous, but they're not bad for everyone. I think for cases like mine, where someone had chronic life threatening psychosis for years, the risk of taking neuroleptics is worth it. Not so much for depression/anxiety or first episode mild psychosis. Every drug has its pros and cons and they must be weighed carefully!
Glad to see that these drugs aren't all black or white

It can. I believe its not as bad as other antipshychotics. I took it and didnt gain much.

These drugs are causing the same problems that the overuse of antibotics have. Doctors have start to think of these things as candy with no though given to the long-term harm. Did you know these things shorten life-span on average by 10 years? (That's excluding suicides because many time patients who are put on these drugs with no prior history of suicidal ideation end up killing themselves.)
My sister was put on these drugs. Shortly (< 1 year) she attempted suicide. Not more than 3 months and she tried again. 2 years later and she was getting worst with all her symptoms. She was taken off by a new psychiatrist. Just 3 - 4 months after being taken off, she tried again. We didn't know what to do.
The new psychiatrist was not an MD but a DO. She used talk therapy and sleep medications. Now its been 7 years and her problems are gone. No more depression. No more bi-annual hospitalizations. No suicide attempts. She's again became the strong woman she was before the first quack psychiatrist put her on anti-psychotics following child-birth depression. Her ex-husband was the one who had talked her psychiatrist into this. He was a narcists and drove her to her wits end with his mind games. She need emotional clarity not drugs that caused her to fall into his trap.
My Mom has a dementia delusion (very very rare delusion happens) she got prescribed antipsychotic. I don't get why she has to take antipsychotic when she barely has ANY delusions. Very very rarely she has them.
Go seek second advice.
As in all medication, the risks must be weighed against the benefits. Antipsychotics have risks, but so do bipolar mania, psychotic and depressive episodes. In all circumstances, risks must be discussed and weighed. Side effects don't happen in every patient, but they also are not uncommon. Knowing what the side effects are, and switching to another med/Tx may be required.
Judicious use of these medication's benefits more often outweigh the symptoms of the disorder being treated. But every patient must evaluate this for their own lives, with the help of their healthcare provider, and possibly family members. Making a rash judgment call to "avoid these medications," because they have side effects, isn't always the best answer either.
ECT or suffering with the symptoms are the other options. Not always good outcomes with those options either.
Have you actually read all the side effects? Because if you did you would know antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage, and brain damage of the frontal lobe, causing memory loss. Eventually leading to premature death. More people die of this than suicide. Your thoughts? Read statistics, scientific research, studies, and reports before you spout on about the benefits and risks you have no idea about. False information kills people. Read everything, not just what you wanna here. These are government studies. Psychiatrist will not tell you. You have to find this information out on your own. Study, educate yourself. Not everything you here is the truth. Believe nothing of what you here, and only half of what you see. The truth is out there, but not easily available. Research, research, research! Don't stop! You will find, your conscience open, and learn more than you ever did before. You actions and reaction will be different.

Be careful, I lost 20years of my life. I still have problems possibly for life now.
@@rebelandseektoprosper8268 I took antipsychotics for just 6 months at age 16 and even that was enough to permanently reduce my intelligence.
being psychotic is the worst thing in life and low intelligenve is probably related with the illness schizophrenia itself
Chris i think the illness do the harm more than the meds
Where would loxitane and Molindone fall under? They share both First and Second generation properties.
Newer agents of neuroleptics
This video is VERY importgant!!!
These drugs ruined my life. Dangerous drugs. What are psychiatrists doing to people? Nothing is good when treated with these drugs.
@@sharkparty1027 I already tried committing suicide. I was unsuccessful. But I will try again. I have a fool proof plan this time. Thanks for your support.
John Rambo noooooo, please don’t.
Yup, these drugs are terrible, id rather die then take an atypical antipsychotic for being bipolar
*SCHIZOPHRENIA TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGH: My heart goes out to everyone who have or cares for a mentally ill person, there should be no shame. I once believed Schizophrenia or mental illness has no cure. Well, it is true with antipsychotic medicine, but not with Consummo Herbal Medicine. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical medicine, no magic pill that has any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease. My daughter's experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through the wonders of herbs. My daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia many years ago. I spent more time in hospital than out of hospital. She had a major breakthrough only with CONSUMMO treatment. She has been well and living her best life. While there may be other different options to look into, never make your own success path a secret. I consider myself an advocate for people who don’t have a voice. I don't want people to feel that suicide is their only option.

Cd v discuss
so helpful. Thanks!
Thank you
You obviously have no empathy for patients
Can antipsychosis meds make it worse
In a long term yes
thank you so much
I think the patient responses have made it very clear what kind of efficacy, or lack there of, these medications have. It's preposterous that psychiatrists can force this psuedo bull shit down your throat or shove a needle in you. People like that deserve prison, they must have some pretty grandiouse opinions of themselves to think that they can be an arbitor of normalcy.
As a scientist who is Jack Coe?
Thank you. Quetiapine saved my life.
All I hear is " That it's Depressing for the paintent" Fuck Psycology
I am a patient of deeprasion from 11 year after taking physctrist medicine i became suffering from anhidrosis can i cure
Msg me ur no
Do you guys know how st johns wort works? It has destroyed my life
How ??
shanti arnab in the deepest most fundemental and essential way possible. Completley destroyd the mechanisms in my brain that are responsible for producing joy.
And its on a very fundamental level. Hard to explain with text. But ill swap anyday day for heroin or benzo withdrawals or any other drug
Because they go away after a time. Everything goes away. Not this.
Me too. Feel demented and fucking anhedonic. Nothing to look forward to in life. Did these side effects subsided? Pff feel like dementia
After taking antipsychotics, and any psychiatric drug you could think of (and I never even had a psychosis) since age 15, now in my late twenties, I feel it took much of my cognition and overall health from me. I gained a lot of weight since then and need to watch diabetes etc. Also I think this is by design, they didn't even tell about this before. Basically, life out you could forget about a career in full time working in this condition and am impaired. But maybe that's the "healing" effect wished for in these "medications"
Now I came to the knowledge, there was never anything wrong with me or my brain, but every thing wrong with these child-poisoners. Shame on them.
I also came to the conclusion, thatl God is my HEALER, and their healing is conned, fake magic show. Wolf in Sheep's clothing also racist, eugenics and fascist.
I do hope there will be less victims as more and more people become aware of this all around the world.
Sorry for my English, I live in germany
My life is ruined too
@@Nancy-ow9wy Likewise here.
healing effect wished for by these medications. There is none. The side effects are horrendous one of the biggest is they cause lack of motivation. If you are already mentally weak you wont be able to do a job hell not even voluntary work. THey are working on a new anti psycotic called KarXT. It should be a real improvement over the 20 so called medicine now.
I’ll explain it it in one word ,no need to listen to the verbal diarrhoea , TORTURE
With all due respect to Dr Helen n those who have wasted their time studying psycharity..n to the whole money making business of it all...n their co operation with the media n those in temporary control.....your life-changing and ruining systems and plans WILL COME TO AN END.
Of course..im psychotic n abnormal....?! Hahaha
Where n what is the soul?
May God forgive us all n enable us all to make the correct n right decisions
God's luck with us all
Hi I am in South Africa my brother was diagnosed with psychosis and was given pills at the hospital. He has been taking them now gain ubnormal weight and when he turns he uses his whole body and always tired, his arm are always in one position 😢. Is this normal? I am thinking of stopping him from using these pills
Hello Lecturio Team
U r incredible, mam
And they want me to take this shit?! Fuck that
Does schizophrenia patient die
in case i've forgotten my venlafaxin i got a feeling like lightnings flashing through my brain😨😲😖😴
Yeah that's awful but not an antipsychotic. My doctor said he doesnt prescribe velnaxafine anymore because of these side effects. My friend succeeded getting off it, its possible. You can ask for prozac to replace it while gradually weening off.
Like pay money to cure side effects?
Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 20/8/2019
Don't be a psychiatrist it's a crime against humanity
Its getting worse...every time i take these i go on an acid trip...every single time..
One time was so bad the world dissolved into a melting pot of abstract shapes snd colours....im a little bit scared to come off them..because i start to hallucinate never ending suicide trips...ahh well...
Wow basically patients have terrible side effects whether it’s high or low potency. Seems there is only one benefits reduction of positive or negative symptoms and many side effects.
And it also makes you seek drugs, when I was meds I was drug seeking constantly because drugs were the only thing that took away the depression and help me cope with being on meds. Now I do none. I was so addicted to pot and took pills and did every drug under the sun and couldn't stop myself from impulsively doing and seeking them. I would face consequences but could stop myself from doing it, even drugs that made me feel like garbage. Then off of meds, I quit almost immediately.
Wow how are you doing now??
@@Nancy-ow9wy Well ironically just as I started to feel normal they found reason to put me in the court system. Lol.
@@Nancy-ow9wy So kind of shitty honestly, but highly congnizant, no drugs except cigarettes. Trying to get into a better position so I can go to college.
@@Nancy-ow9wy I was able to get my licence and I got my first official job (I was a musician in high school, free lance art, etc) lost my social anxiety. I feel pretty normal besides PTSD.
@@Nancy-ow9wy You are pretty, you know that?
Antipsychotics raise the risk of diabetes mellitus.
They also cause brain damage
@@Mark-bw1wx for me the biggest problem is no motivation, alot less motivated. A investigtion on mice, finding after 8 weeks of olanzapine that there was a shrink in grey matter of the mice brain.
I’m a clinician, and I can tell you many of your characterization are just false. Especially with regards to the difference between the old and new meds.
Do you consider these D1 drugs “magic “ as a scientist, is magic a term your life’s profession hears?
If you are struggling with any kind of addiction, depression or other life problems - a Light is shining in the darkness for you. If you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for no fault of His own, and that God raised Him back up from the dead three days later- and if you Trust that by doing so Jesus paid the penalty for all yours sins and mistakes - past, present and future - then you will go to Heaven when you die. The Holy Ghost will then come into your life and help you to live the way that brings life, peace and true happiness! This is the Good News of the Gospel!
The doctors have me on a delayed shot of aripapiazole
i have 18 years of lymes that has gone neurological.
nice
Drugs do more harm than good, that’s a fact for anyone willing to do a little research.
clonidine, wellbutrin, and buspar have not harmed me at all; in fact, together, they have all saved my life. don't overgeneralize your hatred for antipsychotics to ALL drugs.
Morphine
Depresión y antisicoticos????????????????????........👎
It says weight gain is a side effect. That is very strange considering it was the only thing I have ever taken that suppressed my appetite!!!
Lol, read antipsychotics as antibiotics
Jibber jabber to neuter men. Lol
nice
