Weird... Benzodiazepine withdrawal causes Akathisia too. Worst thing about benzos is that you can develop a condition called tolerance withdrawal which means that even when you are taking your normal dosage, some switches in you and you go straight into withdrawal. Anyone can get this too no matter if you are taking daily or as needed. I had to learn this all the hard way, I spent 4 years recovering. Benzos is only recommended short term
Right but the tardive akathisia from SSRI is brutal, for me I'm on year 5 and I would not survive without taking a benzo intermittently. I do try to stick to every other day and occasionally take several days off. But nothing else has helped even a little. Even after intense workouts, I already feel agitated driving home.
THANK YOU!! The doctors don’t know how to treat withdrawal Akathisia and told me for 2 years that I had “rebound anxiety” and that I would get better if I was put on another medication for anxiety and attended psychotherapy. I was put on so many meds and nothing ever helped. Probably because I was ripped off like 5 drugs in the span of a few months. Had been taking some of them for two decades plus. The guy never gave a justification as to why he was just ripping me off all my meds and then putting me on another cocktail. Now I have symptoms of TD from coming off another antipsychotic after being on it for 5+ years. Doctor said to just stop at 20mg when I complained about worse Akathisia.
Be aware of other kinds of tics arising from long term treatment with APs. I got vocal and motor tics and had no idea what they were. Turns out there's another one called Tardive Tourettism
I think I've developed a bit of a vocal tic, I make a noise a bit like a gasp but with a vocal noise not just breathy if that makes sense. I usually get it when I remember something embarrasing and cringe or after something stressful.
I have tourettism naturally.. I sustained it from birth complications, I was born almost a month late and was cut off from oxygen. It makes me have akathisia sometimes, especially when I don't eat and I get stressed out and anxious.. They put me on antipysychotics in my teens and it made my akathisia go full blown tardive, and it would happen almost all day every day... It was awful, it went on for years and I wound up having to get on methadone to make it stop, cause nothing else would do it.. I actually found that out on my own after a dental surgery to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth lead to a hydrocodone prescription... I wound up having to buy pills from people without a prescription so I could pee dirty to get in to the methadone program as an "addict," because my own doctor, and all the doctors I saw trying to get the akathisia to go away wouldn't touch the subject.. They didn't even notify me that they worked to stop akathisia if everything else fails.. They're actually the most powerful anti-akathisia agent there is.. The universe just had a way of letting me know because I was on the verge of taking myself out, probably.. Yeesh. Before that, I had seen 5 different doctors and took a whole list of medications, like 10 different things, trying to make the akathisia go away so I could sleep.. I was seriously on the verge of taking my own life... It was also no surprise that the mental health office I was going to that was treating autistic kids with comorbid behavioral and neurological issues shut down and "lost" everyones medical records in the move. The pharmaceutical and medical industry are shameful.
@Cosmicgrl___ I used to have tics too, akathisia, all sorts of crazy stuff related to my tourettism, turns out what I was missing was dopamine. It even balanced out my endogenous opioid imbalance or whatever misfire was happening, once I got on a low dose of adderall I was able to get off methadone, which was what I was using to stop the tics after the antipsychotics made it worse.. Ironically, when I was on methyphenidate, which is ritilin and kind of like adderall but weaker and closer in structure to cocaine, that got rid of my tics too, but after D.A.R.E. started coming to schools and painted it as legal cocaine for kids, parents started questioning doctors, and doctors stopped giving it to kids with ADHD in a lot of cases, which turns out is comorbid and commonly goes hand in hand with tourettes and tourettism.. That's when the antipsychotics started coming in to my life.. Lol.. Running away from those, and doctors, is how I wound up on drugs, (can you believe over half the people in prison have ADHD/related issues, and are there for drug issues, and the behaviors that got them there are related to frontal lobe imbalances?) and now like 15 years later I'm finally stabilzing because doctors are finally facing the truth about dopamine and frontal lobe issues. A good example.. Putin has Parkinsonism, a dopaminergic imbalance, and look at how crazy he acts. Dude needs some drugs. The right ones. He can't even keep his feet still. Look up "putin twitching" or "putin feet" lol
My wife has been suffering from akathisia for 6 months. We don’t know if the antipsychotics or the benzos or both have caused it. We have health insurance but nobody can help us. It is the saddest thing in the world to see her losing her life and no one will help us.
Same is happening to me, hospital giving me God knows what kind of drugs, trying to sneak in ssri saying for nerve pain, nausea meds, benzos, I felt it right from the beginning then added BENZOS blew up full blown. No doctors here know anything, not hospitals, just say your crazy take BENZOS see psych...RUINED MY LIFE. and I was fine before going into hospital..,
If you have ever experienced this. You would you know. I have experienced it around 4 or 5 times in my life (no more then an hour or so each time) I’ve likely never experienced anything else as unpleasant or unbearable. I would describe it as an intense physical ‘Whole body’ Anxiety, including but not limited to sensations and emotions of panic, terror and even paranoia. Basically the practically continuous state of Fight and Flight / experienced at the same time. Deep and slow breathing and mindfulness techniques provides some basic relief, until typically the sensations / symptoms and associated panic begin to pass within around 45 to 90 minutes.

I've been taking antipsychotics and antidepressants for 2months now. However I abruptly discontinued the medication because of the strong side effects I have been feeling. I am not psychotic yet this is what my Doctor prescribed me to improve my sleep. Right now, Im still recovering from the withrawal which can last 6-8 weeks...Im on my 1st week of recovering and with the help of exercise and healthy food intakes im recovering even faster. This hell experience made me loose my trust to Doctors, like most of them dont really care about their patients which made me feel sorry to them that had to deal with these experiences. I dont have to explain everything, mostly knows exactly what im talking about.
I am effected by the symptoms of my anti-psychotic medication (my involuntary movements) unfortunately, I'm literally only here because I went down a rabbit hole of studying the medication I am taking, it all makes SO much sense now, unfortunately my medication being stopped due to monetary reasons made it somewhat worse. I have been taking this medication for 2 years now, sometimes I thank every deity that it helps, and sometimes I pray that the psychological pain goes away. I hate how you have to make a deal with yourself on what is more important, because on or off my medication, I still find myself struggling. I am very skeptical of psychiatrists who don't understand their patients or don't think thoroughly enough about which treatment-medication combination might work best.
I can hear you. I have been on a benzo for 6 years and i've developed so many symptoms now that i didnt have before taking benzo. And now that want to put me on an anti-psychotic. I am not even diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Psychiatry is indeed a rabbit hole. Could you tell me how long did it take before the side effects developed? Like if i try the drug for a month just to see how it goes will i be able to come off of it without any problems?
@@MindfulSapient HIII THANK YOU FOR NOTICING MY COMMENT!! Every antipsychotic acts different for people, I am taking Latuda, after around 6 months to a year I started getting involuntary facial movements, my nose twitches and so do my eyes, sometimes my mouth. As time progressed my legs would jolt and it would trigger my facial twitching and viceversa. If you try the drug for a month and come off of it nothing would really happen. I suggest being on it for 2 months at a reasonable dose. It takes a few weeks for it to have its full effect, varying on the medication you might have to eat atleast 350 calories. For some people they would rather stay on a medication that has side effects if it means their mental health is improving. When I first started taking it Id get nausea, cramps, fatigue and really bad anxiety, but it gets easier after at least a week.
@@NeoCapableTechnology Thanks for replying Ferriera! I hope it gets better for you soon and you get to heal and live your life without any of these side effects. You must be a strong person to have kept going in spite of having them. I would've given up a long time ago. My experience with psychiatry is nothing less than terrible. The main problem with me is that my nervous system has become hyper-sensitized due to the use of benzo. The reason i asked if i could get off of the anti-psychotic after a month is because i couldnt do the same with the benzo. After taking it for 15 days i stopped and felt extremely sick, not just mentally but physically too with symptoms like extreme burning pain in muscles, extreme fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, all kinds of digestive issues etc. I couldnt continue past the 3rd day and got back on it. I have tried a couple of SSRI's since then but they all made me extremely foggy, depressed and fatigued. I didnt have any problem with SSRI's prior to taking the benzo. Also i was recently prescribed an atypical anti-psychotic 'levosupiride', primarily for my digestive symptoms but after taking it for a week, my muscles started getting really stiff and painful. So i stopped and it has been 5 days but my brain fog and pain hasn't alleviated yet. It feels like something burnt in my brain. And now the doc wants to put me on risperdal (Risperidone) and i dont know what to do anymore. I feel like i am done with psychiatry. Sorry for the long post. I just feel completely lost at the moment and i dont trust doctors anymore. Just needed to vent i guess!
@@koohletit1453 I have some good days followed by flare ups where all my symptoms go worse. Everything seems to be pretty inconsistent at the moment. I've noticed that I do well when i stick to a healthy sleep routine and maintain a healthy diet
Thank you for this concise and insightful breakdown of antipsychotic side effects! Your explanation of acute dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia is incredibly helpful. It's reassuring to know that there are targeted treatments for each side effect, such as benzotropine or antihistamines for dystonia and benzodiazepines for akathisia. Your mention of managing parkinsonism without discontinuing antipsychotics with benzotropine or amantadine is enlightening. Tardive dyskinesia's potential development after months on antipsychotics is a crucial point, and your recommended treatments like velbanzin provide valuable options. This video serves as a valuable resource for anyone navigating antipsychotic medications. Looking forward to more informative content from you! 👍👏
Antipsychotics are brutal. I tapered off all of mine because of the side effects. But my bipolar symptoms aren’t the best right now, so I’m pretty terrified getting back on them is going to be the next step 😭
@@Dan-wo3nh millions of children have been effed up on these and other drugs, sexual "side effects" from 'antidepressants" including all kinds of perversions as well as sometimes destroying the libido entirely POST SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION. And the authorities and society continues on pretending that these doctors are wizards of neurochemistry making magic with this stuff. They are just awful World War 2 chemicals and pesticides that doctors got paid to push as medicine. They don't fix anything, correct anything, just modifying behavior with "medicine' this all might as well be a psycho horror movie.

Dont take clozapine for more than a year. You will experience severe withdrawal problems, in other words, coming off of this pill is almost impossible. I experienced Akathisia for 3 weeks, wanted to die every single second of it, and now im back on it again and there is no way to go back to normal for me. Antipsychotics are like a life-sentence in prison, except the fact that its your mind. God bless anyone struggling with mental health
Antidepressant should be banned. They are not a solution at all. Freaking regret taking the poison xanax and I have constant swaying like I'm on a boat and brain zaps
@@gughffhhghgghghgg1690 I'm not the one that should recommened anything, I dont know your exact situation that you are in, but personally speaking I counterattacked akathisia by taking 3mg of Xanax and it went away slowly. I was so relieved that I was finally free from the torture
Hey there, how you doing there? I took 3 kind of APs i was admitted to mental hospital due to BPD, Drs prescribed me with Abilify, Depakote, and Clozapine. I was on high dose, i don't know the exact precise dose actually since i was in hospital for 3 weeks and cold tuerkeyed right after out from the hospital. I do have the severe involuntary movement after taking those medications, my shrink? she didn't do much. It's been around 8 months after taking those meds, now these symptoms has settled down unless TD in one side of my leg, it is right leg, that come and goes. I was wondering how are these symptoms could last for life, i mean is it true? and how did you manage to overcome this on daily basis? Let me know and sorry for too much asking.
The side effects of these meds are terrible and the medication that's used to stop the side effects of the meds you're taking in the first place probably have side effects themselves and just make the side effects worse to begin with

Omg! I had the worst experience with droperidol !!! I was given this medicine at the emergency room after 20 minutes I started hallucinating and having acute dystonia!!!! Imagine not knowing what dystonia is and out of no where you can’t control your muscles 😢that was terrifying and traumatic to me I was having panic attacks and nightmares because I was in so much shock! It’s after days that I thought to myself “maybe it must be the meds they gave me in the ER “ so I made some research and came to find out dystonia is one of the side effects that droperidol has and hallucination

I have been on Olanzapine for 4 months now, and to me, it is a god send. I never knew what was wrong with me, or that I was mentally ill, but when I told others I was diagnosed their response was "What, you didn't know already?". For years I suffered with something similar to Akathisia without antipsychotics, it felt like terror all over but I kept being told it was anxiety. The first night I took my olanzapine, around an hour later, I felt calm. I had never felt calm before, and I honestly do not know how I was even keeping myself alive with how I felt before. My brain shut up for once, and I realised that I did indeed hear voices, but I thought it was a normal internal monologue. Now my thoughts are actually my own. I pray that on 7.5MG of olanzapine as it isn't a high dose I don't get any of the bad side effects listed here, and am hoping if I was going too I already would have got them. Please, if you are very ill then they can be a godsend. I was diagnosed with Bipolar spectrum disorder, Emotionally unstable personality disorder, and complex PTSD.
Why are you here? These medications are not miraculously making people better. I’m guessing you’re bipolar, yup. You don’t experience anything like Akathisia. Why would you say you had something similar? You’re like here singing praises for these meds that do this to people. It’s just not right. This isn’t the place for this.

No, it's just this video that's useless. I just watched the Tardive Dyskinesia part, but if someone has tardive dyskinesia, the first step is to see if you can discontinue the medication.

Can you reverse supersensitivity by giving a dopamine agonist? It should be able to reverse it by downregulating the receptor and return the sensitivity to the baseline level? Although it would make the psychotic symptoms worse initally. Is that beeing tested in animal models?
I had restless leg sendrome or akantasia I am not sure. My doctor gave me parkyn( dopamine agonist) for my symptoms and my symptoms disappered even though I continued on taking olanzapin. Then we changed the medication afterwards just to be sure.

I had what they called acute dystonia from 3 days of seroquil a few years back but it seems different to these videos. I’d get constant movements to the extreme in my neck, back and mouth. Yesterday I was taken by ambulance for something similar for an increase in amitriptyline dosage 3 days prior and for hours I had my arms throwing up in the air, involuntary screams, tongue poking out and clicking my tongue, making kissing sounds and blowing raspberries. I have ehlers danlos syndrome which often comes with extreme side effects to these drugs but it didn’t seem like dyskinesia nor dystonia so now I’m confused
I got acute tension in gace and on head, then acute tension on larynx/hyoid. Survived at nutridrinks and gat many more side effects from head to too, even a skinrash and still no help! They’re killing me these socalled off-label sleepingpils!!! Very very very mad, ma whole body changed in 4 weeks and i servived 2 shocks as wel, but it going on and on!!

Can you give me some guidance, I want to sue because they held me down and injected me and locked me up because I wouldn’t take there anti psychotic drugs because i knew the drugs were doing all of the things mentioned in this video , I was blackmailed into taking these medications because they said if you don’t take them they would not release me , there is a lot more but I won’t go into it , I know the law is behind the psychiatrists and not the patient when it comes down to enforcing drugs and locking patients up but there seems to be enough video evidence of what these drugs do to the human body that it’s undeniable that it’s a form of torture

Why there’s dystonia and akathisia < disorders of movement , when we give anti psychotics ; shouldn’t anti psychotics decrease movement only like what’s seen in Parkinsonism ??
Antipsychotics don't affect the muscles at all. They affect the nerves which innervate the muscles. Here's my hypothesis. When the nerve's function gets altered by antipsychotics, the initial response would be to resist this alteration by increasing action potential firing. Which is why we see increased muscle movements first. However, with prolonged use of antipsychotics a certain level of tolerance develops (as we see in all cells). In other word, the nerve finally gives up trying to resist this inhibition. Which is why we see decrease movements later. I'm not terribly sure of this, but that's my thoughts. This would be a great research idea though!

I’ve been on Zoloft and Buspar for 3 years now but on and off because at a time I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t go to my appointments to keep getting my prescriptions. It works GREAT for me. But this last time I’m back on it since 3 months ago and I’ve been getting so restless at night. I toss and turn BUT I’m sleepy. It’s just I can’t stay still and it’s driving me nuts. I know this is mild to what other people experience. But I’m someone who normally sleeps so well and I really don’t want to have to take more medications to help this 😞

I stopped Zoloft rapidly without tapering off and developed tardive dyskinesia about five years ago. I bite the inside of my mouth for at least eight hours a day. I just can’t make my brain not do it. I don’t want to take more drugs to stop something that a drug caused. Is there something natural that can slow this down or somehow improve the dopamine receptor?
I have very slight symptoms of dyskinesia when I’m stressed or late with my Effexor. I wish aid never started it. I’ve been on Effexor since 2013 due to a bad reaction to another med. it’s basically being elapsed to a medication because of you skip a dosage you feel like you’re dying😢.

Common side effects of antipsychotic medications can include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and restlessness. It's important to note that the specific side effects can vary depending on the type of antipsychotic medication and the individual's response to the medication. If you or someone you know is experiencing side effects from antipsychotic medications, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional to discuss potential solutions or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I just had to add a comment that I've placed on-line before about a treatment possibility. I took my wife to a psychiatrist for depression. She was placed on Abilify (which is approved by the FDA for schizophrenia but is marketed for depression). She took Abilify for 13 days and then stopped it because she didn't like the effect it had on her. About two weeks later she started to have uncontrollable movements of her arms and legs and her head which scared the heck out of both of us. I took her to a neurologist the next day and was told that she had tardive dyskinesia and that it might be permanent and that there was no treatment. I am a physician so I did an on-line search for tardive dyskinesia and found a note from some source I don't remember now, but which said that propanalol 10 mg twice a day has helped some people with tardive dyskinesia. I got her the medication and started her on it. Within a few days this awful tardive dyskinesia disappeared and she has remained on propanalol since then since she is terrified that the symptoms might reappear. I just want to let people know about the possibility that there might be a standard medication available that may be able to help with this terrifying medication side effect. She has had no side effects with the propanalol which she has been taking now for 4 years.
Thank you so much about the propranolol. I have Tardive Dyskinesia since 1995 !! A neurologist prescribed me Clonazapam. It helped about 75%. I wonder if the propranolol would help me ?? I have trouble with insomnia too.. I wonder if propranolol would help me sleep better. ??? Thank you so much. God bless you wife. !! Psychiatry can be evil.
There is no cure and the standard “treatments” do not help people who got these disorders from withdrawal. Propranolol did nothing for me the 3 times I tried it and you have to taper off if you want to stop.
@@blairsterling6141the Benzo is just masking your disorders and Benzos aren’t recommended long term but I guess if it’s keeping you from dying 🤷🏻♀️ you planning on staying on Klonopin for life now?
@@AkathisiaWarrior ..I have wanted to gradually ween off Klonopin. I saw a doctor that said if I did taper slowly, and got off of it, that I would never be able to sleep at all. There are very, very, very few doctors that know how to taper a patient off of benzos. I have been on the damn drug for 28 years. I average about 4 hours of light sleep. The drug ruins the brain's natural gaba ability to sleep. Most all of my problems began with very dumb doctors over prescribing Xanax. Within about 12 days on Xanax my brain was dependent on it, and I could not sleep. The rebound was horrendous. People need education about psychiatric drugs. Most all of them are toxic.
Imagine getting a medication to deal with the side effects of your medication

@@lambd01d the treatment suggested in the video is benzos. That's crazy!

Weird... Benzodiazepine withdrawal causes Akathisia too. Worst thing about benzos is that you can develop a condition called tolerance withdrawal which means that even when you are taking your normal dosage, some switches in you and you go straight into withdrawal. Anyone can get this too no matter if you are taking daily or as needed. I had to learn this all the hard way, I spent 4 years recovering. Benzos is only recommended short term

I wound up having to buy pills from people without a prescription so I could pee dirty to get in to the methadone program as an "addict," because my own doctor, and all the doctors I saw trying to get the akathisia to go away wouldn't touch the subject.. They didn't even notify me that they worked to stop akathisia if everything else fails.. They're actually the most powerful anti-akathisia agent there is.. The universe just had a way of letting me know because I was on the verge of taking myself out, probably.. Yeesh.
Before that, I had seen 5 different doctors and took a whole list of medications, like 10 different things, trying to make the akathisia go away so I could sleep.. I was seriously on the verge of taking my own life... It was also no surprise that the mental health office I was going to that was treating autistic kids with comorbid behavioral and neurological issues shut down and "lost" everyones medical records in the move.
The pharmaceutical and medical industry are shameful.
@Cosmicgrl___ I used to have tics too, akathisia, all sorts of crazy stuff related to my tourettism, turns out what I was missing was dopamine. It even balanced out my endogenous opioid imbalance or whatever misfire was happening, once I got on a low dose of adderall I was able to get off methadone, which was what I was using to stop the tics after the antipsychotics made it worse..
Ironically, when I was on methyphenidate, which is ritilin and kind of like adderall but weaker and closer in structure to cocaine, that got rid of my tics too, but after D.A.R.E. started coming to schools and painted it as legal cocaine for kids, parents started questioning doctors, and doctors stopped giving it to kids with ADHD in a lot of cases, which turns out is comorbid and commonly goes hand in hand with tourettes and tourettism..
That's when the antipsychotics started coming in to my life.. Lol.. Running away from those, and doctors, is how I wound up on drugs, (can you believe over half the people in prison have ADHD/related issues, and are there for drug issues, and the behaviors that got them there are related to frontal lobe imbalances?) and now like 15 years later I'm finally stabilzing because doctors are finally facing the truth about dopamine and frontal lobe issues.
A good example.. Putin has Parkinsonism, a dopaminergic imbalance, and look at how crazy he acts. Dude needs some drugs. The right ones. He can't even keep his feet still. Look up "putin twitching" or "putin feet" lol
My wife has been suffering from akathisia for 6 months. We don’t know if the antipsychotics or the benzos or both have caused it. We have health insurance but nobody can help us. It is the saddest thing in the world to see her losing her life and no one will help us.
Have you tried cannabis ??? It has worked for several people with it that I’ve known .
Im so sorry me aswell. Have you find something that helped?
I think omega 3 from krill oil might offer some assistance to help with the recovery
Same is happening to me, hospital giving me God knows what kind of drugs, trying to sneak in ssri saying for nerve pain, nausea meds, benzos, I felt it right from the beginning then added BENZOS blew up full blown. No doctors here know anything, not hospitals, just say your crazy take BENZOS see psych...RUINED MY LIFE. and I was fine before going into hospital..,
My heart goes out to you and your wife really hope she gets better soon. God bless 💗
If you have ever experienced this. You would you know.
I have experienced it around 4 or 5 times in my life (no more then an hour or so each time)
I’ve likely never experienced anything else as unpleasant or unbearable.
I would describe it as an intense physical ‘Whole body’ Anxiety, including but not limited to sensations and emotions of panic, terror and even paranoia.
Basically the practically continuous state of Fight and Flight / experienced at the same time.
Deep and slow breathing and mindfulness techniques provides some basic relief, until typically the sensations / symptoms and associated panic begin to pass within around 45 to 90 minutes.

I've been taking antipsychotics and antidepressants for 2months now. However I abruptly discontinued the medication because of the strong side effects I have been feeling. I am not psychotic yet this is what my Doctor prescribed me to improve my sleep. Right now, Im still recovering from the withrawal which can last 6-8 weeks...Im on my 1st week of recovering and with the help of exercise and healthy food intakes im recovering even faster. This hell experience made me loose my trust to Doctors, like most of them dont really care about their patients which made me feel sorry to them that had to deal with these experiences. I dont have to explain everything, mostly knows exactly what im talking about.
how you doing now
@@stevengerrard7610 my body feels slightly unsteady when I stand or walk for minutes but overall I'm okay now:3
I know exactly what you mean, experienced the same thing
They are criminals. I'm so sorry dear
IN MY LIFETIME I TRUSTED PEOPLE WHO TURNED OUT TO BE FOR THEMSELVES AND NO ONE ELSE.MISS HELEN THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE THE WORST
I am effected by the symptoms of my anti-psychotic medication (my involuntary movements) unfortunately, I'm literally only here because I went down a rabbit hole of studying the medication I am taking, it all makes SO much sense now, unfortunately my medication being stopped due to monetary reasons made it somewhat worse. I have been taking this medication for 2 years now, sometimes I thank every deity that it helps, and sometimes I pray that the psychological pain goes away. I hate how you have to make a deal with yourself on what is more important, because on or off my medication, I still find myself struggling. I am very skeptical of psychiatrists who don't understand their patients or don't think thoroughly enough about which treatment-medication combination might work best.
I can hear you. I have been on a benzo for 6 years and i've developed so many symptoms now that i didnt have before taking benzo. And now that want to put me on an anti-psychotic. I am not even diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Psychiatry is indeed a rabbit hole. Could you tell me how long did it take before the side effects developed? Like if i try the drug for a month just to see how it goes will i be able to come off of it without any problems?
@@MindfulSapient HIII THANK YOU FOR NOTICING MY COMMENT!! Every antipsychotic acts different for people, I am taking Latuda, after around 6 months to a year I started getting involuntary facial movements, my nose twitches and so do my eyes, sometimes my mouth. As time progressed my legs would jolt and it would trigger my facial twitching and viceversa. If you try the drug for a month and come off of it nothing would really happen. I suggest being on it for 2 months at a reasonable dose. It takes a few weeks for it to have its full effect, varying on the medication you might have to eat atleast 350 calories. For some people they would rather stay on a medication that has side effects if it means their mental health is improving. When I first started taking it Id get nausea, cramps, fatigue and really bad anxiety, but it gets easier after at least a week.
@@NeoCapableTechnology Thanks for replying Ferriera! I hope it gets better for you soon and you get to heal and live your life without any of these side effects. You must be a strong person to have kept going in spite of having them. I would've given up a long time ago.
My experience with psychiatry is nothing less than terrible. The main problem with me is that my nervous system has become hyper-sensitized due to the use of benzo. The reason i asked if i could get off of the anti-psychotic after a month is because i couldnt do the same with the benzo. After taking it for 15 days i stopped and felt extremely sick, not just mentally but physically too with symptoms like extreme burning pain in muscles, extreme fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, all kinds of digestive issues etc. I couldnt continue past the 3rd day and got back on it. I have tried a couple of SSRI's since then but they all made me extremely foggy, depressed and fatigued. I didnt have any problem with SSRI's prior to taking the benzo.
Also i was recently prescribed an atypical anti-psychotic 'levosupiride', primarily for my digestive symptoms but after taking it for a week, my muscles started getting really stiff and painful. So i stopped and it has been 5 days but my brain fog and pain hasn't alleviated yet. It feels like something burnt in my brain. And now the doc wants to put me on risperdal (Risperidone) and i dont know what to do anymore. I feel like i am done with psychiatry.
Sorry for the long post. I just feel completely lost at the moment and i dont trust doctors anymore. Just needed to vent i guess!
@@MindfulSapient anything changed ?
@@koohletit1453 I have some good days followed by flare ups where all my symptoms go worse. Everything seems to be pretty inconsistent at the moment. I've noticed that I do well when i stick to a healthy sleep routine and maintain a healthy diet

Thank you for this concise and insightful breakdown of antipsychotic side effects! Your explanation of acute dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia is incredibly helpful. It's reassuring to know that there are targeted treatments for each side effect, such as benzotropine or antihistamines for dystonia and benzodiazepines for akathisia. Your mention of managing parkinsonism without discontinuing antipsychotics with benzotropine or amantadine is enlightening. Tardive dyskinesia's potential development after months on antipsychotics is a crucial point, and your recommended treatments like velbanzin provide valuable options. This video serves as a valuable resource for anyone navigating antipsychotic medications. Looking forward to more informative content from you! 👍👏
Antipsychotics are brutal. I tapered off all of mine because of the side effects. But my bipolar symptoms aren’t the best right now, so I’m pretty terrified getting back on them is going to be the next step 😭
Use natural good sedatives and stabalizer. Use Passionflower. You can combine it with valerian to prevent or get rid of mania when it is happening.
Well its YOUR decision isn't it.
@@Dan-wo3nh millions of children have been effed up on these and other drugs, sexual "side effects" from 'antidepressants" including all kinds of perversions as well as sometimes destroying the libido entirely POST SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION.

They are just awful World War 2 chemicals and pesticides that doctors got paid to push as medicine.

Nice illustration and straight to the point
Dont take clozapine for more than a year. You will experience severe withdrawal problems, in other words, coming off of this pill is almost impossible. I experienced Akathisia for 3 weeks, wanted to die every single second of it, and now im back on it again and there is no way to go back to normal for me. Antipsychotics are like a life-sentence in prison, except the fact that its your mind. God bless anyone struggling with mental health
Antidepressant should be banned. They are not a solution at all. Freaking regret taking the poison xanax and I have constant swaying like I'm on a boat and brain zaps
hey i only took it 5 or 6 times and got something similar do you think all these are reversible?
@@gughffhhghgghghgg1690 I'm not the one that should recommened anything, I dont know your exact situation that you are in, but personally speaking I counterattacked akathisia by taking 3mg of Xanax and it went away slowly. I was so relieved that I was finally free from the torture
Hey there, how you doing there? I took 3 kind of APs i was admitted to mental hospital due to BPD, Drs prescribed me with Abilify, Depakote, and Clozapine. I was on high dose, i don't know the exact precise dose actually since i was in hospital for 3 weeks and cold tuerkeyed right after out from the hospital.
I do have the severe involuntary movement after taking those medications, my shrink? she didn't do much. It's been around 8 months after taking those meds, now these symptoms has settled down unless TD in one side of my leg, it is right leg, that come and goes.
I was wondering how are these symptoms could last for life, i mean is it true? and how did you manage to overcome this on daily basis?
Let me know and sorry for too much asking.
ok "doc" 😄
The side effects of these meds are terrible and the medication that's used to stop the side effects of the meds you're taking in the first place probably have side effects themselves and just make the side effects worse to begin with

Omg! I had the worst experience with droperidol !!! I was given this medicine at the emergency room after 20 minutes I started hallucinating and having acute dystonia!!!! Imagine not knowing what dystonia is and out of no where you can’t control your muscles 😢that was terrifying and traumatic to me
I was having panic attacks and nightmares because I was in so much shock! It’s after days that I thought to myself “maybe it must be the meds they gave me in the ER “ so I made some research and came to find out dystonia is one of the side effects that droperidol has and hallucination
I was given this at the er and my jaw locked up.
Should have mentioned the danger (risks) of prescribing drugs for withdrawal symptoms. Dark age stuff here!
Yup

I have been on Olanzapine for 4 months now, and to me, it is a god send. I never knew what was wrong with me, or that I was mentally ill, but when I told others I was diagnosed their response was "What, you didn't know already?". For years I suffered with something similar to Akathisia without antipsychotics, it felt like terror all over but I kept being told it was anxiety.
The first night I took my olanzapine, around an hour later, I felt calm. I had never felt calm before, and I honestly do not know how I was even keeping myself alive with how I felt before. My brain shut up for once, and I realised that I did indeed hear voices, but I thought it was a normal internal monologue. Now my thoughts are actually my own.
I pray that on 7.5MG of olanzapine as it isn't a high dose I don't get any of the bad side effects listed here, and am hoping if I was going too I already would have got them.
Please, if you are very ill then they can be a godsend.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar spectrum disorder, Emotionally unstable personality disorder, and complex PTSD.
Ive been on it for 11 months, eventually it leads to akathisia for me my suggestion is get off it immediately
Why are you here? These medications are not miraculously making people better. I’m guessing you’re bipolar, yup. You don’t experience anything like Akathisia. Why would you say you had something similar? You’re like here singing praises for these meds that do this to people. It’s just not right. This isn’t the place for this.

Can you reverse supersensitivity by giving a dopamine agonist? It should be able to reverse it by downregulating the receptor and return the sensitivity to the baseline level? Although it would make the psychotic symptoms worse initally. Is that beeing tested in animal models?
I had restless leg sendrome or akantasia I am not sure. My doctor gave me parkyn( dopamine agonist) for my symptoms and my symptoms disappered even though I continued on taking olanzapin. Then we changed the medication afterwards just to be sure.

I had what they called acute dystonia from 3 days of seroquil a few years back but it seems different to these videos. I’d get constant movements to the extreme in my neck, back and mouth. Yesterday I was taken by ambulance for something similar for an increase in amitriptyline dosage 3 days prior and for hours I had my arms throwing up in the air, involuntary screams, tongue poking out and clicking my tongue, making kissing sounds and blowing raspberries. I have ehlers danlos syndrome which often comes with extreme side effects to these drugs but it didn’t seem like dyskinesia nor dystonia so now I’m confused
I have a combination of Tardive movement disorders
I got acute tension in gace and on head, then acute tension on larynx/hyoid. Survived at nutridrinks and gat many more side effects from head to too, even a skinrash and still no help!

These medications would probably help some people but not me
Are these side effects because of atypical or typical antipsychotics
Anybody had eye dystonia, (saccadic eye movement), (Nystagmus) after using antipsycotics? Did it go away?
Hello
Well done
I also thought that anticholinergics can help in the management of the side effects rather than add to it
Why there’s dystonia and akathisia < disorders of movement , when we give anti psychotics ; shouldn’t anti psychotics decrease movement only like what’s seen in Parkinsonism ??
Antipsychotics don't affect the muscles at all. They affect the nerves which innervate the muscles.
Here's my hypothesis. When the nerve's function gets altered by antipsychotics, the initial response would be to resist this alteration by increasing action potential firing. Which is why we see increased muscle movements first.
However, with prolonged use of antipsychotics a certain level of tolerance develops (as we see in all cells). In other word, the nerve finally gives up trying to resist this inhibition. Which is why we see decrease movements later.
I'm not terribly sure of this, but that's my thoughts. This would be a great research idea though!
@@USMLEpass Thank you, appreciate your response.

Common side effects of antipsychotic medications can include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and restlessness. It's important to note that the specific side effects can vary depending on the type of antipsychotic medication and the individual's response to the medication. If you or someone you know is experiencing side effects from antipsychotic medications, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional to discuss potential solutions or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I just had to add a comment that I've placed on-line before about a treatment possibility. I took my wife to a psychiatrist for depression. She was placed on Abilify (which is approved by the FDA for schizophrenia but is marketed for depression). She took Abilify for 13 days and then stopped it because she didn't like the effect it had on her. About two weeks later she started to have uncontrollable movements of her arms and legs and her head which scared the heck out of both of us. I took her to a neurologist the next day and was told that she had tardive dyskinesia and that it might be permanent and that there was no treatment.
I am a physician so I did an on-line search for tardive dyskinesia and found a note from some source I don't remember now, but which said that propanalol 10 mg twice a day has helped some people with tardive dyskinesia. I got her the medication and started her on it. Within a few days this awful tardive dyskinesia disappeared and she has remained on propanalol since then since she is terrified that the symptoms might reappear. I just want to let people know about the possibility that there might be a standard medication available that may be able to help with this terrifying medication side effect. She has had no side effects with the propanalol which she has been taking now for 4 years.
Thank you so much about the propranolol. I have Tardive Dyskinesia since 1995 !! A neurologist prescribed me Clonazapam. It helped about 75%. I wonder if the propranolol would help me ?? I have trouble with insomnia too.. I wonder if propranolol would help me sleep better. ??? Thank you so much. God bless you wife. !! Psychiatry can be evil.
The best treatment for tardive dyskinesia is tetrabenazine
There is no cure and the standard “treatments” do not help people who got these disorders from withdrawal. Propranolol did nothing for me the 3 times I tried it and you have to taper off if you want to stop.

@@AkathisiaWarrior ..I have wanted to gradually ween off Klonopin. I saw a doctor that said if I did taper slowly, and got off of it, that I would never be able to sleep at all. There are very, very, very few doctors that know how to taper a patient off of benzos. I have been on the damn drug for 28 years. I average about 4 hours of light sleep. The drug ruins the brain's natural gaba ability to sleep. Most all of my problems began with very dumb doctors over prescribing Xanax. Within about 12 days on Xanax my brain was dependent on it, and I could not sleep. The rebound was horrendous. People need education about psychiatric drugs. Most all of them are toxic.
