Antipsychotics

Yes, that's my point...pens with the drug company's name on it, coffee mugs the same...those thing are advertisements for the drug.

Lunch for all? Another advertisement.


My oldest sister is a retired doctor and was always shocked by the expensive "gifts" drug companies offered to MD's. Her disgust with drug companies advertising was a major reason the led to her retirement.

I've responded better to antipsychotics than mood stabilizers. Mood stabilizers have not worked as well for controlling mood and have tended to give me more side effects. I find antipsychotics also help more with hallucinations. Latuda has been a great AP.

I take antipcyshotic, antidepressant and mood stabilizer. it takes all three to keep me stable.

Haldol and Latuda mix have saved me!

i think dosage can be a big issue, too. 20mgs abilify is good for me. shrinks often pushed for higher doses. thankfully, im in a position to haggle...not all "mental patients" can, especially at clinics.

i really do recommend some kind of antioxidant supplementation to -all- people on psych drugs, especially the tranquilizers. i take massive doses because...well, why not?...but even lower amounts can often have some benefits, in terms of tolerating the drug(s) and not developing adverse effects. anyway...

the protocol i do was developed in the 50s. then in the 70s and 80s, it became clear that the massive doses of tranquilizers popular back then were causing brain damage. and then...it became apparent that a lot of the nastiness from psych drugs is because they somehow produce a lot of oxidative stress+free radicals...

so, the sort of thing the orthomolecular people in the 50s and 60s were pushing was way ahead of its time, and its still somewhat controversial, for whatever reason(s).
