Antipsychotics

You can sedate a person forever like they do in ICU in hospital but you must ensure they receive a source of foog like glucose on a drip or similar.

It is prescribed as an antipsychotic for bipolar and schizophrenia

never take any medication and smoke any illegal or legal substance. Even if not taking a medication, do not smoke anything.

As you should be well informed from a medical licenced practice any diagnosis relating to a chemical imbalance in the brain, will always be subject to having treatment, with a set form of medication, for a informed and coherent individual acknowledgement of their symptom's would shortly aid in the attempt to taper of zyprexa, as the doper-mine displaces out the body surely you will have gained no change in your understanding or thinking of lucid cognitive motor skill's just finding that answer you must justify within the laws of reality. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and have tapered off the medication it is the exhausting day to day necessity of questioning my behavioral mannerism's and guess work of real live emotion's and learning them and growing in knowledge that has aided my progression forward, this is my secret no one knows, i am on the outside a controlled and informed individual, on the inside a excepted diagnosed patient of the medical world, i have been unfortunate to have relapse once or twice it was knowing the sign's, and excepting that i am who i see in the mirror. My safety net for such a quest is find a gp that understand's in my case no gp just a day to day learning session between me my self and i.

Yes. Please take under medical supervision.

Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is an atypical neuroleptic (antipsychotic) that is approved for use by the FDA in combination with Fluoxetine (Prozac) for long-term treatment of Treatment Resistant Depression and for acute depressive episodes in Type 1 Bipolar Affective Disorder.

They are very different drugs. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, whereas Valium is a benzodiazepine. both drugs can cause sedation, but generally they aren't interchangable, as they have substantially different effects.

No. Haldol (Haloperidol) is an antipsychotic.

I've asked this question to a doctor, registered nurse, & licensed pharmacist...all say yes you can take both. If you have any doubts, you can always double check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side effects generally vary from individual to individual. Taking Adderall and Risperdal at the same time shouldn't cause any significant problems, since they don't majorly interact with each other. However, since they're both forms of psychiatric drugs, if you plan on taking both for a prolonged period of time definitely consult a doctor.

side effects with risperidone and alcohol

It is, and it happens with many medicines used in psychiatry.

As the name 'tardive' implies, the effects are delayed, so it won't be evident for some time - perhaps years - after a long course of such medications.

Our nerves are coated in a protective myelin sheath. The medication damages the myelin sheath so that the nerves are no longer as insulated as they were. This leads to involuntary movements such as a facial tic, or writhing movements over the body. It is not painful, but it is uncontrollable and embarrassing. Sometimes the tics involve making sounds, gestures or shouting.

These side effects are not very nice, so why are these medicines used? Its a difficult decision that is not taken lightly. Sometimes their use is the only way to make life better for the patient. The hope is that the medicines can be used for a short time and then the patient hopefully improves and can be helped with less drastic medication and psychotherapy. Newer medicines are less damaging, and they are usually prescribed first, but if they don't work and the patient is very ill, then as the lesser of two evils, the heavier drug may be prescribed.

Sometimes anti Parkinsons drugs are prescribed to counter the effects of the medicine that causes tardive dyskinesia, but although they help a bit, they don't help enough for most doctors to feel that adding yet another drug to a patient is a good thing.

There are support groups for people with tardive dyskinesia.

There could be complications from adding the cyclobenzaprine to the mixture. Promethazine is sometimes mixed with opiates similar to hydrocodone in pharmaceutical preparations. The combination of promethazine and hydrocodone taken orally should be safer than the combination of all three, be aware that potentially dangerous interactions could still occur. Cyclobenzaprine should not be taken simultaneously with other CNS depressants (such as promethazine and hydrocodone). Also, the combination of just promethazine and hydrocodone will still cause powerful sedation with lack of coordination and possible dizziness. Do not drive under the influence of these drugs.

You should never mix prescription medications with over the counter medicines without first consulting with a physician. Some of the side effects can be intensified or there could be an adverse reaction.

No, you should not mix any medication with Abilify without your doctor's OK.

Depends on the strength of the tablets, if they are 300mg then taking 4 of them

(1200mg) would be considered and overdose, so anything up to 1000mg is safe.

Although anything up to 1000mg is safe but you do have to watch out for low blood pressure when increasing the dose, this could cause you to become very dizzy, increasing the dose gradually is recommended, if in doubt consult your psychiatrist.

Why would you take clonazapam (Klonopin) and diazapam (Valium) together? They're both benzodiazepines, members of the same class of drug. Everything you've listed is sedating and depresses the central nervous system. Alcohol can dramatically increase the effects of the Seroquel, Skelaxin, clonazepam, and diazepam, and is a CNS depressant itself. You could die from this combination, or worse, end up in a coma or permanent vegetative state.

Best case scenario is that you'll vomit before you pass out so you don't aspirate your stomach contents, and someone will call the rescue squad. If you survive your adventure, expect to have your stomach pumped and/or ingest a large quantity of charcoal mixed with a laxative. Also, expect to spend some time on an in-patient psych unit.

Don't mix those meds, and especially don't mix them with alcohol. If you're feeling suicidal, go to your nearest emergency room for assistance.

Ativan and olanzapine can cause serious complications when taken together. Symptoms of severe drug interaction can include low blood pressure, shallow breathing, weak pulse, muscle weakness and drowsiness.

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.
