antipsychotics in healthy volunteers

here's a linkk to the study http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article ... eid=178098

so they are saying that snitpyshcotics cause negative sympotms but its hard to tell from amongst the sedation whats really going on...includes a quote from one of the participents that they didn't know how to explain the effects but it wasn't nice////this is whaat every person goes through but the quacks are so ignorant that they just say its symptoms, how about wake the ###$ up quacks.

Thanks for sharing Razael! I am definitely interested in reading this one. I am surprised that they allowed healthy volunteers to take antipsychotic medications.

I wish I did not have to take an antipsychotic medication, it does seem primitive to me.

I take an anti psychotic Seroquel. Been on it for 4 years, lowest dose 50 mgs, highest 150 mgs. I also take Prozac 40 mgs daily and Clonazapam as needed. Seroquel I only use at night cause I can't seem to get my brain to stop spinning on what has transpired during the day. I was always like that, but only began the medications 4 years ago after a deep depression and some suicide ideation.

My daughter had some mental health issues, especially with anger, and rispiridol? really screwed her up, she was lethargic, tired, and would be a night hawk. She would over eat, smoke pot, and really messing her self up.

How many mg of Risperdal? is your daughter on, I'm on a low dose of 2mg at night.

Let's try to stay on topic with Razael's opening post please

How do you test psychiatric medications on mentally ill patients? My own experience surprised the hell out of me because I was managing my life with no psychiatric meds until one day BANG I was on them. At first there were no anti-psychotics in the mix, and my doctor said that I needed help to manage the sudden crises in my life. Only further visits, a stay at the psych ward at the local hospital and eventually I began to feel better. Your correct. There is no easy way to do this. I have seen examples in my own family of trial and error, and I know there was self medication going on with weed smoking. I have not used Seroquel during the day. Its sedation would make me shut down mentally and physically and I would not function. As a sleep agent it worked great for me and now I am down to the lowest dose I have ever been on. BUT the remains of depression are still there, and although I have read that Seroquel is being used in the treatment of depressions, it makes me wonder just what the markers for depression really are. I don't consider myself to a psychotic person, but something in my brain has lost its capacity to function correctly. I could see "healthy" persons on these meds being unable to describe how they were feeling. Probably not something they have ever experienced before.

Hi, she may not be on anything now. When she lived with me in her teens/early 20's she was on different psych meds in different doses at different times. I certainly saw that Risperadol made her lethargic. She was seeing a Psychiatrist who also believed in managing the types of foods she ate. Her belief was that certain proteins in foods caused depressions and other illnesses and her doctor wanted her to follow those guidelines. I know my daughter did not follow those guidelines. There was more going on with her than she would tell the doctor.

thre would be ethical concerns to really find out about this and put them on longer periods of dosing, thats when we'd find out but they would let people have their lives destroyed for a science experiement...it really needs to be done though to wake the quacks up about what the drugs are doing, what I complain about is so difficult to describe to them, if only they were more knowledgable and know what the drugs do. They give people negative symptoms thats what. who lknows how far the drugs go to detroy peoples lives.

i am one who smoke pot becuase of the antipsychotics, like one of the posters duaghters...first time I ever heared it like that that the antipsychotic led to marijuana abuse, thats what its done to me, I am heavyer user now dose been increased, I wanna get off somehow, even opened up a new place in the universe that my psychiatrist is in recieving treeatmetn I am forcing onto them, not sure what its doing, problaby nothing much very subtle. but I got a message that the other night the psychiatrist was full of fear and paranoia, I hope thats true see too it that she has an experience of some kind that opens her eyes...this should be in the apporpriate forum..just something I talk about , maybe shouldn't talk about like my celbrity crush and naming names with that one...pardon me now I off topic but it comes into what I see as karma for pscyhiatrists destroying lives with negative symptoms, shouldn't they all get a taste for what the drugs do and enter into some mystical deal that they take the effects of the drugs somehow, somehow have to destroy quacks, now there is a spacefleet of psychiatrist in treatmetn talking to a god of some kind.

maybe the weed explains my ranting about stuff I want to share with people...can't remember what I eddited to say that was more important. maybe i should update the post about taking the psychiatrists up for treatment....there Ideally speaking should be a worldwide epidemic with these types of characters the psychiatrists, doing justice and opeining their eyes. they are scum bags
