Antipsychotics

Seroquel XL should be administered once daily, without food (at least one hour before a meal). The tablets should be swallowed whole and not split, chewed or crushed.

This is from the manufacturer.

Hypersomnia is a general symptom and a category of sleeping conditions for those who have problems staying awake (more sleepy). Hypersomnia is experienced by those with narcolepsy and hypersomnolence (which are separated between those who experience R.E.M. and those who do not).

Short answer: hypersomnolence is hypersomnia, but hypersomnia covers more than hypersomnolence like narcolepsy.

Example: Invasive ductal carcinoma is a breast cancer, but not all cancers are breast cancers. Hope this clears it up, if not feel free to correct me.

All of the atypical antipsychotic agents are chemically classified as dibenzepines. They are considered atypical or novel because they have different side effects from the conventional antipsychotic agents.

No. Anti-Psychotics don't show up as Benzodiazepines in a drug test.

Yes, Suboxone, Prestiq, and Abilify can safely be taken together. Suboxone AKA buprenorphine is used as a maintenance medication for opiate addiction. Prestiq is an antidepressant that works differently than SSRI's. Prestiq blocks two main chemicals in the brain one of which is serotonin. Lastly, Abilify in the beginning was used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In recent test Abilify has been shown to work very well with other antidepressants namely Prestiq.

Should be none. Ibprofen is just an anti-inflammatory and is not a narcotic. If you are worried about side-effects, then I suggest that you take tylenol.

Yes, you should be fine. However, please consider that Klonapin is highly addictive and habit forming. Are you taking these medications for a psychiatric disorder? Be careful,again. Not only with the Klonapin, but Seroquel and Lamictal will knock you out, and numb you out. No way to live life. These medications are meant to be taken for a short period of time, unless you are severely schizophrenic. If you do take them for a long period of time you may develop Tardive Dyskenesia. And it's chronic. Good luck...

Lithium carbonate is not tested for, mainly because it is not a drug of abuse. It is, rather, one of the nastiest drugs you can go on. The side effects are really bad and the therapeutic index--the distance in dosing between the dose that works and the dose that kills you--is very small. And the side effects are unbelievable--"tremors" are the mildest side effect of this drug.

About 7pm Wednesday December 30,2009 I took one 15 mg Abilify tablet with one 50 mg Spironolactone tablet and one 500 mg metformin tablet.. At 7 am on the following morning THURSDAY THE 31ST I took 50 mg Spironolactone and 500 mg Metformin again. Then at about 1 pm on the same day I took one 37.5 mg tablet of PHENTERMINE and at 6:48 pm I took another 15 mg Abilify and 500 mg Metformin and 50 mg Spironolactone. It is now 7:08 pm and I'm doing just fine!

Seroquel is only available in pill dosage form. So , No it does not come in liquid form.

I wouldn't recommend it. I am also on Abilify and Nyquil night-time relief and nearly crashed my car. Shakes, chills, racing heartbeat, confusion, blurred vision (to the point of barely being able to see), etc. Once home I found out that together these medications can cause "anticholinergic intoxication syndrome" which describes my symptoms exactly. They list it as a "moderate" interaction between the two drugs, but it can cause death in rare, and severe cases.

Combining Cymbalta with an SSRI is not a great idea, because Cymbalta already has serotonin re-uptake inhibition action. Side-effects will likely be significantly worsen. So, if are indeed decided to do so, I would suggest an SSRI which has not so great side effect profile like Escitalopram (Lexapro/Cipralex) or Citalopram (Celexa). Watch out for sexual side effects!!

Benzotropine or Cogentin is prescribed by psychiatrists to treat Parkinson's Disease like side effects such as stiff muscles.

But the benzodiazepine called Clonazepam or Klonopin takes away the bad feelings or inner tension and torment from Haldol rapidly. Unfortunately psychiatrists are usually unwilling to prescribe Klonopin to treat side effects of antipsychotics such as Haldol.

Bad idea. Depending on the amount you are taking, how long, and why there can be a number of withdrawls. Seroquel is a strong medicine, it is possible to quit, but this is best done slowly under the supervision of a psychiatrist.

yes u can take but not for a long time because olnazapine may caused neuro maligant

There are two kinds of urine tests: tests done for medical purposes and tests for the use of illegal street drugs (or abuse of prescription meds).

Haldol is an older anti psychotic drug mostly used for people with schizophrenia, psychosis and delirium. Apparently its side effects are quite debilitating, and I can't find evidence that it can even get you high at all.

It won't show up if they are doing a test because you are physically ill. Although it could be detected in a urine or blood test for illegal/controlled drugs, it's unlikely anyone will be looking for Haldol and unlikely they would take much interest or concern over the fact that it showed up.

If your taking risperdol then you are treating some form of schitzophrenia or psychosis. smoking weed in general can make schitzophrenia and pyschosis worse for people. I have heard that messing with risperdol and weed can also cause anxiety...

autistic daughternon risperdal for 15years (2mg in am and 4mg in pm), but developed tardive dyskinesia. Has been off risperdal for 4 months and is much better except anorexia, insomnia, and not wanting to leave the house. How long can these problems last from withdrawal?

Risperdal is the brand name for the drug risperidone; risperidone is used to treat schizophrenia and sometimes to treat aggression in Autism Spectrum Disorders. Risperidone has no use for ADHD, and can cause worsening attention. Risperdal should not increase aggression.

When I stopped taking risperidal, I went cold turkey, felt like crap for about a week then went away. Better to ease off of it lowering ur dose like every 3 days or something like that is what my doctor said.

It is not recommended, because it increases the chance of drowsiness and other side effects. If you have a mood disorder, then the answer is a definite no, because the combination will exacerbate the symptoms of the disorder.

These are medications prescribed to decrease the frequency, duration, and extremity of psychotic episodes that some people experience. Psychotic episodes stem from dysfunction in the brain cells or messaging system.

I have a serious case of ocd and have been using prozac and seroquel for almost a year now. It is slowly starting to work, I was suicidal when I first went to the hospital and 9 months later I am half way across the country attending university. I am told that the combination is used in severe cases of ocd, anxiety and depression
