Antipsychotic Forums (Page 9)

A girlfriend found a bag of a mixture of different pills, some easily identified except for 2. This one is like it sounds in the title. The colour is white, it's round & very well pressed as it has beveled edges. It's blank on one side and the other side has an N imprinted above the scoreline and below it is the number 5. I figure that the N is for Novopharm? The 5 is probably a dose amount? This one stumps me, I have never seen a benzo (mostly as that was what was found) of this kind or if it is even of that family. ## A white round film-coated tablet imprinted with "5" on one side and "N" on the other, reportedly contains 5 mg of Olanzapine. This medication is marketed for use in treating mental disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Manuf...

etomine 40mg is to expensive I am looking for a cheaper drug ## Etomine contains the active ingredient Clotiapine, so if there is a generic available, that's what it would be sold under. Clotiapine is an atypical antipsychotic that's used to treat various mental health conditions and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, sedation and weight changes. Learn more Etomine details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My husband was prescribed etomine to sleep, but i have noticed in the last three weeks, all his movements have become slower, he walks like someone in extreme pain but says he is in no pain, he sits on a chair and stairs into space, doesn't talk or respond if spoken to. He has been on etomine for two months now. 40 mg.

BLUE AND WHITE CAPSULE ## what is this used for. What it is in it ## Pfizer lists this capsule as being a 20mg Geodon tablet, which contains the active ingredient Ziprasidone. It is used to treat various types of mental health disorders. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, somnolence, and weight changes. The inactive ingredient list for this one is very short and my include: lactose, magnesium stearate, though it may vary depending on the manufacturing facility. The original post is a bit old, I think, so that is all the information I have been able to find on it. Pfizer might have stopped producing it, or changed the imprint codes. Is there anything else I can help with?

This is my story: I've been taking Invega since 2013. I read dozens of pages on the Internet and they say it causes weight gain. I read everything on the papers they had in the medication box when I bought it and it says it causes weight gain. I asked many pharmacists and they say it causes weight gain. I asked more than 15 patients that take medication (same or other) and they say it causes weight gain. I asked friends or other people that know or not know about it and they say it causes weight gain. And ALL ALL ALL ALL psychiatrists say it does NOT! Filthy LIARS! I gained 43 kilos in less than 3 months. I was 68 kilos and now I am 111 kg. Every month I lose 1 or 2 kilos and gain them again. My skin has got stretch marks for more than one year in my belly, in my central body Everyw...

I am taking many medications at this time, due to having five major surgeries, in the last 7 months. I know what all the others are for, but for some reason, even my pharmacist couldn't tell me what it was. I need to know what it's for, before using it. I take many prescribed pills, that are not taken for the reason they were meant for. I take Seroquel, but it's to help me sleep. I also take Mirtazapine, also to help me sleep. I have Amerge pills for my migraines, I also take Lipitor for my for cholesterol, Ativan 2 mg. to help me sleep, Percocets and Demerol for my pain, and Prevacid Fastabs 30 mg. I also take Lasix, but I take it for my blood pressure. I would like to know what this medication is, and what it's prescribed for, before taking it. Thank-you so much for yo...

i take 300 mgof seriquel and also clanopen so should i worry about parole im percribed the clanopen ## It is not necessary to worry about any medication that you were prescribed as long as you have a copy of your prescription in hand or the ability to contact your doctor regarding the prescription. However, regarding Seroquel: It actually can show a false positive for TCA (Tricyclic Antidepressents), if you are tested for that. It is not a TCA but based on my research it often tests positive for it. It is not an illegal drug, but if you are getting screened for all drugs, yes it can show up on a drug test. I hope this information helps! ## I go to flacra and I take vicodine, lyrica , celexa and clonipin but the urine tests are coming up as dilation? ## I take 200mg of seraquel a day. Iv...

I'm taking 10 mg of abilify and have been for 2 years- I would like to come off-think it's an ok decision as things are stable in my life - just not sure how to do it ..I'm also worried about the effects of this drug ## Hello, Abili! How are you? The best thing to do would be to consult your doctor, so they can help you set up a proper tapering schedule. If you just suddenly stop taking it, without tapering, it may cause some withdrawal effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, fever, chills, diarrhea, rebound depression and rebound anxiety. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've been taking 10mg of Abilify for about three years. It's combined with lexapro. I've had enough of it as I feel I don't need it anymore.

I'm seeing my pain doctor and psychiatrist this week to get on a proper pain regimen for debilitating fibromyalgia, severe insomnia with central sleep apnea, PTSD/anxiety from significant abuse I'm working through, chronic daily headaches (advanced migraines), and chronic pain from multiple surgeries (pelvic, back, neck...) Because my doctors don't collaborate I need to suggest options to them. I am sensitive to many medications and have tried a lot over the years. I want my life back. I'm smart and resourceful and at my wits end. I'm on low dose Seroquel for sleep - too much daytime sedation, as Ambien and Trazodone don't work. I'm also on Tramadol, Ativan and Skelaxin during the day. I can't drive, work or function well on this plan. Amitriptyline cause...

I need to know what this is prescribed for? ## I believe you are referring to Risperodol, the generic is Risperdal. This is a very potent antipsychotic, it is also used for people who suffer from mental illness and have trouble sleeping due to racing thoughts. ## I am sorry to disapprove with this as i take it and it is more for people with depression as it is an anti depressant. ## Respiratol is being ordered for my sister-in-law as a mood changer. She is in the beginning stages of Frontotemporal dementia.

What does the acc on quetiapine fumarate 25 mg acc mean? And is there a difference from the same thing w/ out the acc? ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? That's just an abbreviation for the manufacturer, which in this case is Accord Healthcare, so no, there is no difference, since this is a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies.

does anyone know which foods remedy the side effects of flupenthixol and how chemically ## There are no foods that will remedy the side effects, it is an antipsychotic that is used to treat various types of mental health disorders. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, dizziness, mood changes, sedation, and weigh changes.

used for pain? ## Have you checked the page for drugs by letter: <a href= ? I am not sure which medication you are refering to. ## I am not placing a medication that sounds like this that is used to treat pain. The closest I can think of is Quetiapine, which is used to treat various mental health conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. Another one I can think of Klonopin, which is a benzodiazepine that's used to treat anxiety, and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, irritability, and nausea, Do either of these sound familiar?

My daughter is 7 years old and has been on Focalin 15 mg for almost a year, she has been taking it at 8 am and 2 pm and today the Doctor started a new schedule. She now has to take Focalin at 8 am and two new medications. She has to take Clonidine .1 mg either 1/4 or 1/2 at 4 pm and they said it will make her drowsy. The other medication is Risperdal 1mg but 1/2 a pill at night which also puts her to sleep. She has ADHD and severe Oppositional Difiant Disorder, do you believe that much medication is proper or do you recommend getting a second opinion? She is also having anxiety and depression symptoms do you believe that this mixture of medications could hurt her?
