DiscussionAntipsychotics, what those caring psychiatrists don't tell you about the drugs they give you and deny it causes Brain Damage.

Some of the newer antidepressants and antipsychotics haven't been tested long term. WE ARE THE LAB RATS! We are in a live experiment. There is so much that Dr's don't know about these medications. It's worrying when you think about it.
What bad effects did you have from seroquel? I'm very tempted to just pretend I'm taking it. I've already halved the dose the psychiatrist wanted me to take.
They tried to push vortioxetine on me. I researched it. I told them to fuck off. They tried to convince me that because it was quite new that somehow it was better. They must really think we are all stupid, that mental health issues equates to lack of intelligence.
I was on just a small dose of Abilify. I"m weaning off of it currently. AT first, I felt great on the lower dose. But these last few days, a really insidious apathy and underlying angst has set in.
I was forced on 150mg paliperidone monthly injection and then onto 6mg risperidone a day, both on the higher end dose wise, for schizophrenia, and over about 2 months all my symptoms disappeared. Sides were weight gain and lethargy. Took them for about 3 years and came off them and i'm ok still (i am not recommending you do this, you might relapse). I wasn't warned of any potential sides.
They were miracle drugs for me. Literally saved my life as i was starving myself to death due to delusions.

It is crime against humanity! It is pure posion! It delete your emotions, your sexual function, your ability to think, your personality! Just google PSSD. Be aware that every kind of antidepressants and antipsychotics can cause this, not only SSRI and SNRI antidepressants. Just google article "PSSD burried alive", read that and 111 coments. It is realy important. It is worthy. You can take antidepressants for moths and don't get PSSD. You can take few pills and get PSSD, especialy if you took antidepressants in your past. Russian roulete. Stay away from that posion. Caution: if you take that, don't stop sudenly! It can cause severe acute withdrawal and protracted withdrawal, in some cases even "PSSD". Search for advice on Surviving antidepressants forum how to safe taper down your pills.

Yes that's the reason I'm here because of bloody 2ng of risperidone and they said it's a low dose but then you here other people have been on it for years at higher doses it doesn't make sense,
Evil drugs and they give them out like sweats with no warnings. It's criminal.

I share much of the sentiments here , but medications do help some people ; as for the way it's prescribed without proper support , that's a problem ; and as for existing alternatives (currently "recreational") , I agree . But otherwise what would you suggest? Not prescribing? What should we do when it comes to psychosis? I have noticed that when there's a team of attentive doctors surrounding the patient things are much better , AP or not.
If one is thrown a prescription and left to fend for themselves with no follow ups or meds to help symptoms -- that is just terrible (been there).
Psychiatrists are nothing but grease monkeys fixing a carburetor as cheaply as possible for the bottom line of the insurance company , no one should expect more of them . That's not meant as an insult btw . And that has to be changed rather than the medication .
Does your dermatologist explain to you about that rash and the corticosteroids ? No . Why would you expect otherwise from a psychiatrist . It's the same . You're given the 'cream' to put on your 'rash' and that's it , have a nice weekend .
By the way , you're the bloody carburetor . ;)
* correction , they're much worse , because they don't know how the car works , nor do they care
Your lucky you had no life changing side effects from risperidone, that's the excuse the care coordinator said to me, some people have side effects and other don't but not to mention there is a possibility of getting side effects and certainly nothing about life changing side effects is incompetent, your lucky you have somewhere to live but what the marvelous Margaret Thacher done for the UK by closing down all the mental health hospitals and selling the land for the conservative coffers and never replaced them with new updated hospitals, her excuse was we will care for them in the community, read the article below yep that's the sad facts.
Homelessness is an increasing issue within the UK. Evidence shows that there is a considerable link between homelessness and mental health problems; however, this link is often overlooked.
I got put on mental health meds about 6 years ago. I feel either anger, or despair. My self confidence is absolutely shot. I have no friends left. If being on mood stabilisers and anti depressions and anxiety medication doesn't lift my mood when it's suppose to then what's the bloody point in taking them? I take them to make me sleep. That's about how useful they are

I am sorry. I have already seen here is a lot of people because of brain damage from psych drugs (chemical weapon). This is crime!!!
How long you were on that ?

I've never been on medication myself, but years ago I dated a girl (was engaged to her, actually) whose father was a psychiatrist. From the time she was little he used her as a lab rat for every new antidepressant and antipsychotic that hit the market. "Oh, you're experiencing these side effects? Here, try this instead". Her mind was fucked. She couldn't concentrate, would space out in the middle of conversation, wasn't interested in anything... She was miserable. She had her moments of clarity, but most of the time she seemed to be lost in a fog. I felt so bad, but there was nothing I could do. Just try to make her laugh and feel loved. Her father really did a number on her.

hmm idk. Olanzapine, Aripiprazole & Risperidone all worked fine for me :/ They help me & stabilise me emotionally so that I can actually work. Perhaps I am just lucky in that I haven't had serious side-effects.
I think I will print this article and show it at my next appointment with the psychiatrist. This is disgusting, they don't want to listen, just prescribe medications.

Hmm but what option do doctors have, other than to prescribe meds? Maybe the only other option is ECT
Yes, they don't have many options. Just the option to ignore my symptoms and continue to prescribe more medications that fuck my body and my head. I'm tired of it.

Benzos are just as bad. Just ask my memory :p they do cause a cognitive decline though and where I'm at, it seems to have made my mind forget how to cope with things.
Benzos can cause shit too but at least they work. Just should be taken responsibly (easier said than done). SSRIs maybe work some for OCD but most studies show they aren't much better than placebo for depression. I was on all these things too many years. Benzos may have caused some memory problems but SSRIs caused a whole sexual, cognitive, emotional, and physical destruction that is fucking inhumane. Propecia and Accutane can cause a similar syndrome too. Because they all fuck up your androgens and dopamine, and other neurotransmitters, at a receptor level. That means no relief either recreationally or therapeutically from any substance. Just a walking dead person numb to physical touch and emotional feelings.

It's actually psychiatrists that bother me. I have seen an interview with a neuroscientist
( If my memory is accurate on that one) explaining that patients still experience side effects. And that the dugs need to be improved. I find psychiatrist to be such illiterate pill pushers.

My brain is already damaged, I do know that the meds I'm on make people around me happier. That's enough for me right now. I've been thinking about CTB for as long as I can remember my first attempt I was 9. ( I'm 44) I've had a pretty good run if I pass naturally, By my own hand, or some doctors fault. Without help I wouldn't be typing this now. But I agree with you they definitely cause something. I increasingly forget things, names, where I park ect.
