Antipsychotic Forums (Page 17)

Hi. After nearly a year of arguing with my psychiatrist and CPN about coming off risperidone Consta, I'm suddenly told they can't make me take it, so I'm coming off cold turkey. My weight is 19 stone and distributed mainly around my gut, which I've heard is what antiphyschotics do. My question is, how much weight am I likely to lose after withdrawel? Admittedly my diet is fatty and sugary so I'll have to address that but for the moment I'm just wondering how much weight I'm expected to lose (I'm on the highest dose) Thanks people ?? ## Hello, Tom! How are you? There is really no way to say with any certainty, because it will depend on how much was caused by the medication and how much is due to your diet and there's just no way to really know that. Th...

Can you die on Seroquel if you take too much and how much is too much? ## im not sure ## My little brother was prescribed seroquel xr 50 and over dosed on a little over 20 tablets. He was rushed to the hospital and had his stomach pumped and slept for hours on end after. Im sure if you were to down a bottle you aren't going to wake up. ## Definitely. Had 200mgs and slept for 24 hours. Be very careful with this drug since it's easy for it to stop your breathing ## Should Seroquel be taken with other medications at the same time. ## i just started the drug i felt like it was helping but i guess my body is use to it ## This is the most dangerous drug I've ever taken.

what is this pill? it is small round and yellow and has the number 5 on it only ## Based on your description, this pill could be one of three different drugs. Zyprexa Zydis (5mg) manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company Meloxicam (7.5mg) manufactured by Carlsbad Technology, Inc. Olanzapine (5mg) manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company If you're able to, I would suggest contacting (emailing) each manufacturer with a photo of your pill so they can identify whether or not it's something they produce.

My doc started me on Saphris to augment Wellbutrin and Brintellix for my depression. The first night taking it, I fell asleep really quickly. I woke up early but was nauseated all day. Thank goodness, it was a Sunday because I was useless for most of the day. Took it Sunday night, slept well enough but had crazy dreams. I felt okay in the AM then my head started pounding and I felt like my head was "swimming" all day. Now I am so nauseated again that I am in bed at 7:30pm. I know it takes some time for your body to get used to a new med. Tonight will only be my 3rd dose of 5mg, I don't know if it's too soon to throw in the towel but I can't be sick like this for days or weeks. Sorry I'm so long winded. Any suggestions? Thanks. ## Hello, Jenn! How are you? Has the...

I'm 75 years old and when I was a kid a lot of guys got breasts as part of normal pubescent bodily changes. I developed sore and swollen breasts myself. Because time has passed and medication and hungry lawyers are rampant today; normal physical growth has become a source of income for those who hope we don't remember our childhood. Many of today's attorneys are contributing to the bad rep the law profession has and pushing to the limit the ethical limits of the bar. Ambulance chasing is too narrowly defined vis-a-vis the rules of Professional Conduct
