thanks so much for the info madam,from this i could learn about my sister's condition and support her😊
Can you please do more videos on major depression and how it affects the regulation of emotions .
Specifically how a spouse/partner can support a person with this mental illness.
They put me on this medication at a children’s mental hospital instead of anxiety medication. By the time I was 21 they said I’d need 3 organs replaced due to this medication. It made me pass out and wet the bed and drool.
@J U this are 2010. And the doctor at the hospital had openly admitted to my parents he was experimenting with me and writing a book on me
@J U yah I just got reevaluated by a new psychiatrist. Aspergers (autism) major depressive disorder, and we are looking at weather by hysteria conversion disorder diagnosis should have been FND (functional neurological disorder)
@J U well I was a kid and my parents just signed off on the treatment. Even as an adult after they took my rights they have kept putting me on medications that caused huge problems for my health
@@josephdemaree8401was the book ever created/published?
@@weebmaster9591No book, because that would be against the law. And the psychiatrist would lose his license while in prison for breaking HIPAA. A case study was written on me, how do I know? The doctor asked me if after they figured out what was wrong with me is it something I would be interested in. They said my name would not be used, and initials changed. Also before they could ever start I would have to sign a consent form that went into more detail. Which I signed at the end of my inpatient care, a couple days before my discharge.
I knew a guy that was on this medicine for years. He developed the problem with his white blood cells. He had a hard time finding another medicine that worked as well.
Its all crap theres many natural methods like cbd
Clozapine can be life changing for those with treatment-resistant schizophrenia who are severely ill and/or at high risk of suicide. I know of cases of people who are driving cars for the first time thanks to Clozapine. The side effects can be brutal which is why it's only for people who are so ill or so resistant where managing these side effects with additional medications and regular monitoring is the lesser of the two evils. I've heard the saying that 'some of the happiest schizophrenia patients are the ones on Clozapine'. Schizophrenia is not just about hearing voices, it's an all-encompassing mental illness that strips away at one's sense of self, autonomy, independence, ability to think, maintain relationships and feel connected the world around them.
I was self medicating and I can tell that clozapine makes you sleep on spot but you wake up feeling very bad .
bro what you should not be taking antipsychotics without a prescription. where tf did you even get it from
It works for my adult child. It was a last resort medicine.
Do no't let them eat that, might get catatonic syptoms at some point if they try to stop it is poison
Could it also be the cause of my son’s short term memory loss and his comprehension issues, he’s never had these symptoms before he started this medication
They have given this med to one woman I know for 7years if she tries to stop it she gets catatonic type of episode and she was no't like this before the meds, she has some heart problems bc of the meds and might die why the f are they giving this med to people it is poison, the side effect list is awful this is so wrong
Thanks Dr. Marks. Good imfo.
Thanks for the share.
I was on 40mg of Latuda for two years then I got the worse stomach pains. It was to help with my mood, PTSD.
My question would be is that how it works to treat schizophrenia, by attacking the immune response to the infection in the brain ? There is a lot of research going on now that at least certain types of schizophrenia is caused by some kind of brain infection. Most of the people I know that have been on it for a long time have had massive brain damage. The symptoms got better but overall they got worse. I guess it's just me but, I would think treating the actual infection would make more sense than stopping the body from attacking it.
No. Clozapine is a first generation antipsychotic, meaning it mainly works by acting as a Dopamine antagonist in parts of the brain. It binds to dopamine receptors and lowers or stops their activity altogether. This ties in with a famous theory of schizophrenia in psychiatry and neuroscience proposed in the last century: that some symptoms of schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, erratic behaviour, positive symptoms) are the result of too much excessive dopamine activity in certain parts of the brain where this shouldn’t be happening. That is the dopamine hypothesis for schizophrenia, and it is the reason antipsychotics (dopamine antagonists) were tried out for schizophrenia and some success was found in diminishing positive symptoms.
This mode of action of first line medications for schizophrenia has nothing to do with “immune response”, “infection” or the immune system. It is simply dopamine antagonists. However, there are still hypothesis by some researchers out there today that state that there might be other important components in the causes of schizophrenia, and that the dopaminergic hypothesis is not the end all of our understanding of the disease. Some studies and known researchers have found indeed there is a greater amount of health markers for inflammation in the blood of people with schizophrenia, as well as other specific medical markers. What all of this means is still a big question mark. There might be several other components we still don’t understand in the causing of schizophrenia, since medications used now for it only address certain symptoms (positive symptoms) and not others (negative symptoms), as well as cause frequently some undesirable and significant side effects in some patients which can be very bothersome and affect quality of life:
Extrapiramydal symptoms: they include movement dysfunction such as dystonia (continuous spasms and muscle contractions), akathisia (may manifest as motor restlessness), parkinsonism characteristic symptoms such as rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), tremor, and tardive dyskinesia (irregular, jerky movements). Extrapyramidal symptoms are a reason why subjects drop out of clinical trials of antipsychotics; of the 213 (14.6%) subjects that dropped out of one of the largest clinical trials of antipsychotics (the CATIE trial (Clinical Antipsychotic Trials for Intervention Effectiveness), which included 1460 randomized subjects), 58 (27.2%) of those discontinuations were due to EPS.
@@zkcrisyee in theory. There are quite a few other seemingly accurate causes and treatments. We still don't know exactly how the medications work or why they seem to reduce symptoms. Everything is trial and error.
Clozapine is not a first-generation antipsychotic. It was the first second-generation antipsychotic.
@@zkcrisyee you are wrong it is actually dopamine agonist ..
What about risperidone, guys? I gained 30kg on it, my cholesterol and triglycerides got really high, even tho my diet never changed and before I didn't had high levels of neither one
holy shit this is so true clozapine is the worst of my nightmares
is it the same case with Olanzapine?
No. Not even close.
Whole different animal.
No blood monitoring needed for olanzapine.
No , generally no labs for that
Still get the massive weight gain though. I was 60kg. 10mg a day for about 1 year, I was then 105kg.
That is a horrible testing burden for an ill person.
Weekly Blood draws for 6 months and every other week for another 6 months??? I’d rather just deal w the voices
Oh no some people will start missing the blood test and the needles and that would bring on additional and bigger problems. 😮
Is Clozapine different than Clonazepam?
Yes, Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine.
Tooo dangerous.......I took resperidal....
I dozed off ... sorry.....we need a team of moms....n ngo.. my mom n sis r unstable
Poison
Can you talk about Olanzapine and Quitapine ?
@J U It was a time I felt that the medication of the doctor is not helping me enough so I searched up my symptoms and there is a site that tells medications interactions so I made up a list to calm my brain but now I am good with a prescription of a doctor .
Sounds like lamotrigine and the deadly skin rash.
No
Chemical lobotomy ?
Mon amour😘😘😘
down bad huh
Hurry up
We r running out of time
