I am taking Lopez 1mg tablet for the past 2-3 years time along with Oleanz 2.5mg and then recently 3 months before I stopped taking Oleanz 2.5mg and now I take Lopez 1mg along with Sulpitac 100mg.Recently,4 days before I stopped taking Lopez 1mg and I took only Sulpitac 100mg in the night. I need to know the side effects of skipping Lopez 1mg. Also I need to know the side effects of taking Sulpitac 100mg. ## Hello, The only information I've been able to find in regards to the medication "Lopez" is that it contains an ingredient by the name of Olanzapine. Olanzapine is also the active ingredient in the brand name medication Zyprexa, which is an antipsychotic used to control the symptoms associated with schizophrenia in adults and teens over 13 years of age. It is also used in...

To learn more click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## All the antipsychotics ive tried have the same brain numbing effect.

I have been taking Invega in pill form. I started at 3mg. 3 months ago. Recently this was upped to 6 and now am taking 9 and finding this very difficult (I hate the way I feel on this drug even if it is treating symptoms) because of the side effects. I know that all these drugs have a plethora of side effects and I hate all of them. But with Invega, will the side effects lessen? How long before I tolerate them or experience less of their misery? Also I am gaining weight and freaking out about my continual weight gain over the last two years. My Pdoc plans to increase the dosage even more; he says the increase will make it easier for me to tolerate the inj. The way I feel now, and the thought of a higher dose has not reassured me that getting Invega as an inj. will be easier. On the cont...

My friends daughter was just put on this drug when she had a psychotic break and was hospitalized. My friend said they have identified her daughter as a schizephrenic (sp) ## Invega is a name brand for Paliperidone. It is an antipsychotic medication. ## Thanks Vernon for your response. What does that mean though? Anti-psychotic, what types of patients is it prescribed for usually, is it for Schzophrenics or what. She had been on lots of medications for 20 yrs., and then the last one was Thorazine, they took her off that and have her on this Invega. Do you have anything else to add? MW ## It's wrong to say that invega is anti-psychotic medication. It is not! and that's why several people committed suicide. People who had only a psychotic break and took invega experienced the hell...

This is a potent antipsychotic that is used to treat various types of mental health disorders, some severe cases of insomnia.

I'm prescribed a high amount of morphine ER and morphine IR. I also take quetiapine ER. I need to know if this can cause a false positive for 6-Acetylmorphine in a urine toxicology test? I've read that high doses of morphine can cause this and also the combination of my quetiapine ER. ## Yes. Studies have been done to prove that 6-aceylmorphine can be produced inside the human body for patients prescribed morphine. See the following link for the study. Doctors should remember that tests can also simply be wrong; whether that's because the test sample is contaminated, or the medications contaminated. They've also found 6-acetylmorphine as a pharmaceutical contaminant. I would post the link I've found pertaining to that study, but the page is no longer live. See link b...

I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same types of dreams as I. First of I have to inform you all that recently I was trying to ween myself off my percocet because my bulging disk was supposedly back in place(which its not) so I began taking fewer percocet. This caused nausea so my DR. prescribed me Prochlorperazine 10mg. This is when things start to get really weird. I began feeling really restless and anxious before bed and when I finally fell asleep all hell would break loose....literally. I would dream that I was awakened suddenly in the night by an intruder. The intruder would just look at me and give me a real evil grin and then procede to brutally beat and mutilate my wife. In these dreams(yes dreams plural, same dream every night) I would not be able to move, speak or...

Hi all, just noticed how many forum posts there are, from 'insomniacs' who have been prescribed antipsychotics like seroquel for sleep issues. Personally, I take a fair amount of medications for my bag of issues also, but just wanted to write something in the hopes it helps someone else.. Melatonin is the thing that makes the tired feeling, the yawn, the nap on the couch, the wake up tired and want to sleep more stuff sort of.. You can run out, deplete, have none, start with none, have a very limited internal supply that dwindles every day... Having always been a 'bad sleeper', I just assumed I didn't need much sleep like everyone ewe I knew..I worked hard and long hours and tired was never an issue.. I'd get exhausted physically and emotionally, mentally feel li...

Hi ,i take Cymbalta and Wellbutrin . i would say for the last 2 yrs all they have done for me was keep me from crying all the time, i am still always sad,have to force myself to do anything that i dont have to do. The dr gave me 5mg Abilify a week ago and i still have not taken one because of all the scary side affects .Idont know what to do. Iam so tired of living my life like this but i am to paranoid to try new meds. ## I am so very sorry about what you are going through. What side effects do you find so scary? Maybe we can address those and help you more. In most cases, very few people experience any serious side effects, the only reason you read so much about them on a site like this is due to the fact that the larger percentage of people that are taking it without a problem have n...

I am taking Oleanz 2.5 mg for the past one year instead of Olanex 5 mg(taken upto 3 years).Now for the past one month I have changed the frequency of taking the tablet every two days first and then now once in a week. What are the ill effects of NOT TAKING Oleanz 2.5mg every day? Also shall I continue to skip Oleanz 2.5mg ONCE FOR ALL? ## Well, it does contain the active ingredient Olanapine, which is an antipsychotic, so stopping it, or cutting down may cause a return of the symptoms that it was being taken for and they may worsen due to a rebound effect. Learn more Olanzapine details here. Why are you stopping it? Has your doctor given you any advice? ## My weight increased by 8kgs after the usage of 6 months and moreover I was suffering from ataxia and think side effect of this medic...

My doctor started me on Geodon 80 mg about a month ago. It doesn't seem to be completely agreeing with me. I feel sedated and have blurry vision. Has anyone else experienced this? ## my doctor started me just 5 days ago. i take it with lamictal. Well I am just now reading about it and so far not too happy. About three hours after taking it i have to go to sleep. No choice. Today I can't shake it. Slept 31/2 hrs and still tired, after 10 hrs last night. Is this the geodon or do i have something seriously wrong? I am bipolar ## I'm sorry, my last reply was all about my problem. Since then have spoke to my doctor. He said to play around with the dose (without going over 80) like take 40 in am and 40 pm, etc. or different combonation. As long as it calms me and gives me more ene...

Trying to identify a small round light green pill with L | 10 on one side and no markings on the back of the pill. ## Based on my research, a round green film-coated tablet imprinted with L over 10 (separated by a score line) on one side and blank on the back, reportedly contains 10mgs of Xylac (Loxapine succinate); an antipsychotic medication used for schizophrenia. For verification, this appears to be a product of Canada with a Drug Identification Number (DIN) of: 02230838 I hope this helps!

I was given saphris for depression. Saphris is a brand new drug but its labing is not for depression. Has anyone else took this medicine ## Hi Beth, I was prescribed Saphris recently for a severe and long-term depression. I have chosen not to take this drug since my APRN, in response to my questions, had no idea why or how it would work for a depressed patient. Given her lack of knowledge about prescribed Saphris off-label for depression, I've opted not to take it. Good luck with your decision.

Good luck ## I just started taking it for depression, after 15 years of other meds failing to help. My psychiatrist is prescribing ...

My father is a home hospice patient. Twice his Dr prescribed haldol. I never gave it to him. Each time I informed the Dr that he has Parkinson's and should not take haldol. Now he is in a inpatient hospice unit and I suspect he was given haldol based on his Parkinson's symptoms getting dramatically worse over a 24 hr period. My question is: how long after taking haldol can it be detected in the blood? ## It has been found in the brains of deceased persons as long as three weeks after they last had any. In blood tests of living people, it looks like it might be detectable for a few days. This article might help. It should never be given to elderly people, or to anyone who doesn't consent. With elderly, it's very dangerous for those who have dementia with Lewy bodies, whic...

I was misdiagnosed for 20 years. I've been on antipsychotics for 20 years. I've been on Atypical for maybe 8 years. I have ptsd only. I have been on Stelazine for maybe 3 years. I was on 15mg. When I first started coming off of it I would cut a 5mg pill in 1/4. After 3 months I was down 10mg..then It's been cut down to 5mg. Going from 1/2 5mg every 3 months..so now I'm at 5mg. I've had anxiety for 3 months now after going to 5mg. I'm also on 400mg of Lamictal, 4mg of Xanax, 200mg of Trazodone. I wake up with anxiety every morning to the point that I feel my heart is going to beat out of my chest most days. I take my night meds at 2am because I wake up at 5:30 AM if I go to bed at a normal time say 11 or 12. I wake up at 7:30-8:30 am. The first thing I take is Xan...

Hi, my 20 year old son had a psychotic episode and the doctors aren't sure if it was from years of smoking marijuana or him insufflating what he thought was coke a few days before he got really paranoid. He was hospitalized for two weeks and given the first of two Invega shots three days before his release and the second Invega shot on the day of his release. Two days after his released we had to take him to the ER for a high heart rate and chest pain. He has been out one month and is very terrible. His doctor said he will not get another Invega shot. After reading all the stories about how bad Invega makes you feel, I'm sure it is having the same effect on him. He is in hell, can anyone tell me how long he will feel this way? He only took the first dose of two shots. ## Be care...

Anyone out know about cymbalta? I've just been put on it a week ago. I was suicidal, not now. They just took me off prozac and put me on cymbalta. I'm praying it works for me... ## I just stopped taking cymbalta and it made me feel like i was going crazy. After i stopped taking it i got really bad migraines from it. Good luck. ## This post is from a long time ago so I am not sure if you will receive the message or not. I am getting ready to stop Cymbalta after a bit over 4 yrs on it. It's so horrid. I know it will be awful coming off, but you have to taper off. It may take a year or more. Something they never told doctors or patients in the past. They lied. A legal suit was settled very quietly earlier this year for it too. Did you know that? That's how nasty these crimi...
