It does piss me off too that there not trying to create better meds or even a cure for schizophrenia or other mental illnesses. But my dad said it best.... if they come up with better meds or even a cure then thats less money being made for the drug companies.

[@debramather2477]

Same as cancer. Big money. Add that to the fact that most mentally ill people cannot advocate for themselves by themselves.

[@teresasully3561]

Schizophrenia is absolutely curable with good counselling.. this is never offered bcos when people get over schizophrenia the drug companies lose money. The other thing is that I believe the medication makes schizophrenia continue in the patients brain.

[@whatusername9189]

@@teresasully3561 that is all true for the simple fact that I'm off meds and have been off meds for months and I'm pretty much back to how I was before I even had my psychotic break. I'm in counseling and on a mood stabilizer and I feel phenomenal best I've been pretty much ever.....and I'm stone cold sober. No weed no beer nothing. So yes it is curable also a second opinion is definitely not going to hurt if a person feels they need one

[@m.htruth8880]

The whole mental health system was made to cover up the reason for hearing voices and losing control over your actions and other stuff like that.They are getting paid to cover things up and then give people poison in capsules.

Agreed there isn't enough being done

[@hezhez97]

Big respect for speaking about mental health bro been researching antipsychotics cos I was offered them today for my anxiety and depression from what I’ve seen I think I’m gonna avoid them and try some non stimulant adhd meds I hope you’re doing well bro it’s good to see people like you talking about stuff like this

[@MeJustAimy]

lucky you. i made that mistake. currently looking for any means of healing

[@vignetteorleans1631]

They do not work and add the risk of suicide it is often in the warning label

[@Dan572100]

My main problem with antipsychotics is how psychiatrists & society in general act like anyone who's ever been psychotic needs to take them or else. They talk about antipsychotics as if they're somehow better for mental health than psychedelics. It's very sus how they're pushed on people with mental problems, like hey take this pill that causes weight gain and impulsivity and you'll never be psychotic. Maybe I would be more agreeable if I had access to the drugs I want instead of having doctors push antipsychotics on me.

[@Draia1248]

When I was in the hospital they told us we could refuse medications, but it was likely we would not get out anytime soon and you couldn’t leave the hospital unless the doctor said so

[@OneWhoPullsTheStrings]

When you get on the wrong anti psychotics, the results can be devastating. It’s so important to get on the right anti psychotics especially if you have a psychotic disorder. For me, once I got on the right ones, I didn’t gain weight anymore and my symptoms of psychosis were helped a lot!

[@summer7529]

Which one are you taking now. Is it invega

[@DonKynos]

@@summer7529 Invega was terrible for me.

[@mavadim]

The endorphine is a hormone that makes you happy actually, and on medications is like you dont care for anything, nothing excites you, it keeps you pretty much emotionless. I was kind of stoned all the time, sleepy even after having like 10 hour sleep, also was laying in bed all the time, didn't even want to seat. Now, I am off of them but I kinda feel that I lost interests that I used to have, some things just don't excite me anymore. I dont have the symptoms as you have though. It also hard for me to get back to the usual rhythm, find work, go studying or something. It just feels different and insecured, what if the episode happens again and I will have to experience it once again. The time is passing on though, sooner or later I will need to do something with it and find something meaningful to do, cause it just like wasting time for myself. I really wish you good luck and to stay strong man, the illness is tough but it is important to keep on going 💪

I have psychotic depression and I’ve noticed that seroquel dulls my personality a fair bit but it also helps with my paranoia, hallucinations and depression so I guess the pros out weigh the cons

[@dougpineau6356]

me too the dullness is hard to deal with

[@FBAV]

I nearly see myself in my early 20's in you there, and I wish I could have quit back then. I quit now realizing what it caused is one big trauma

[@buildingburning]

I'm sorry to hear about all your issues with movement. I can relate, that sounds similar to how I was years back before I stopped Seroquel after being on it for years. Unfortunately, all anti-psychotics may effect movement because they act on the central nervous system, which regulates stuff like the voluntary movement of muscles. I got tardive dyskinesia from Seroquel, and even though I stopped the meds the TD is permanent. Thankfully, stuff like fine motor control, walking, coordination, feeling zombified, etc. got better for me after stopping meds. Maybe you could try to learn to cope without meds? That's not to imply that is easy, or to invalidate anyone taking meds, I'm just saying that because that's what I did, and there are also many people in history who learned to cope with schizophrenia without meds. Despite what psychiatrists would say, meds are not the only option. Years of therapy really helped for me, and while I still have hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia, I've learned to cope with them through therapy. Sometimes things don't get better, necessarily, but we get better at dealing with them.

[@leshikokubika486]

I'm sure you can handle this without medication. In fact, it's not as scary as it seems. As a rule, all those who are faced with this, are able to distinguish their normal feelings and thoughts from those that are perceived as voices. You get used to it quickly. The brain without chemistry adapts most quickly to it. Try the meditation technique. This could really help. Close your eyes and try to see all the muscle tensions in your body that deprive you of a comfortable state. Pay special attention to the muscles of the face and head. And then, not paying attention to these muscle tensions, you should try to achieve a comfortable state. You can get comfortable condition with a lot of muscle tension. People often do not notice this strong muscle tension and unconsciously support it. This tension may be so strong that your efforts will not be enough to remove it. But your efforts should be directed not to maintain tensions but to remove them. To do this, you only need to focus on the state of internal comfort. If you notice that the internal tension as it pulls attention to yourself, try to focus attention on this place, and then as if to get out from under this concentration of attention. This can be called the technique of scattered attention. Then this thing can happen - you concentrate on some place, you can relax the muscles, but the tension has changed the configuration and went to another place. You track tensions again and you leave from it again and it goes to another place again. So you can meditate as much as you want. If you succeed, then there is a certain pleasure in it. It is better to do it at night, but you can do it at any time. You can anywhere at least for a moment to close your eyes and instantly disconnect. In depression, do not orient on the emotional color of the feeling, but only on its strength. Well, that is the reason for depression can be anything and feelings can be different. But the feelings should be ignored as if they were not. Sorry for my English.

You are right about dopamine. I have schizophrenia too and I read about it. My father has psychosis and takes zyprexa and he developed parkinson disease, parkinson is caused by the low dopamine levels and antipsychotic lower the dopamine level, maybe that's part of the reason he got parkinson, since he has no one with that illness in his family.

[@alicefaitdescarabistouille924]

He developed pseudo-Parkinsonism I guess ? (it's very similar to Parkinson, but Parkinson is caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons, which lead to low dopamine, and pseudo-Parkinsonism induced by antipsychotics is due to the lack of dopamine because of the blockade of the dopaminergic pathway -but without loss of neurons-. But well, same results)

Im on amisulpride 500 mg down from 800 mg. My emotions are working better and i feel i can think and talk. Couldn't do that on the high dose. When i feel im ready i plan to reduce the dose further with a professional.I must say that getting around 37% less medication (300 mg less) have completly cured my restlessness. So sometimes it helps to lower the dose, even though one might not wan't to come off completly.Thanks for making this video.

[@sadiebellabee]

I lucked out and the very first antipsychotic medication I was ever prescribed which is Latuda works like a dream. I don’t even notice it’s even there at all. It’s a new addition to the cocktail of pills I have to take and so far it’s the best thing I’ve ever taken. It does lower my blood pressure though and feel light headed sometimes but it’s totally fine, it makes me feel “normal” again.

[@watchreadplayretro]

Great video, thanks!

[@sean9020]

This video was cool and very informative btw!

[@Evian63]

Schizophrenia happens not because of high dopamine. That is a common misconception. Some people think this (even some doctors, not all) because antipsychotics lower dopamine, so they just conclude from that. It’s oversimplifying schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is very complex.

[@Zorkmid123]

Adam G I agree. Actually there isn’t any evidence that people who are psychotic have higher levels of dopamine. Since dopamine is a very important neurotransmitter, interfering with it can interfer with the psychotic process, but that doesn’t mean that psychocis is caused by an excess of dopamine. In reality psychosis is a lot more complex than just one neurotransmitter.

[@fragileomniscience7647]

The effect is consequential, a result from low GABA due to low glutamate.

[@jeannepeters817]

Yeah...all antiphychotics still derived from thorozine...it makes me angry too...they aren't trying at all to make "new, radicly different" medications for psychosis...I once gained 150 pounds from cloziril....lost it, but gained back. 75 pounds, and am fighting to not gain all the weight back I tried so hard to lose..I think they don't want to make "new" medications for schizophrenics, bipolar or schizoaffective (they are even pushing these pills on folks with just insomnia or depression)because with the deadly side effects, they want us all dead before we are 70 years old..less burdens for working people, also, they can organ harvest our organs..meaning:we die younger, old rich person can buy our kidneys, liver or heart, etc...and they can, the wealthy that can buy these organs, can live to be 100 years or more..yes...I really think that's why they aren't making better drugs for "psychosis"

[@salnation189]

just stop taking it. It's poison. There is no such thing as mental illness.

[@arizo3806]

I’m on 2mg of risperidone. And it gives me a great amount of back stiffness and back pain. When I get up from the couch I’m hunched over and can’t stand straight for like a full minute. But I don’t hit myself anymore. I’m no longer violent so that’s good. I’m overall very happy with this medicine. It’s to treat my unspecified schizophrenia that I’ve been diagnosed with for five years now. Mental illness is not cool but at least they have medicine for it. Mine is court ordered which means I have to take it. I guess it’s for the better.

[@trevorschneider6902]

You are correct about the meds lowering dopamine, however if it causes movement issues that would be because dopamine levels are too low on the meds.

[@jack_knife-1478]

I'm suffering with chronic pain and depression and personality disorder and suicidal thoughts. I also literally pull out my hair at the back sometimes leaving a bald patch.

I've gained 60 pounds, my legs have started hurting after work, I have tremors in my face and my lower body will randomly have a spasm, and I can't socialize. Literally my mind is blank when I'm around other people and I have no desire to say anything or have friends. I feel like I was put on the wrong medication cause this isn't normal, is it? I'm only on 200mg

Isn't Seroquel a relatively new medication? It didn't exist at the time my friend was diagnosed and medicated with old meds.

[@TheNaprika]

If you try and come off seroquel, your sleep gets disturbed so bad. For me, when I stopped it, I never thought I'd sleep again. It took a good while before I got to sleep on my own again after stopping seroquel. Sleep is guaranteed on It, that's for sure. I hated how slowed down I was and the mania didn't always show up, if it did, I felt like something was missing. I was hypomanic but it didn't last or really take off like it does without meds. my problem is I am a mania junkie. Those moments help me get through life.

What kind of visual and auditory hallucinations do you have? Do you have a video of the topic? It would be interesting to comapre? Do you see visions mostly, or like things around you that aren't real? And voices, are they around you, or inside your head, like speech and messages?

[@dresksk1422]

if they are inside your head that's not a hallucination

[@Gabriel-ib9bw]

Hey Jacob. Risperdal was my first antipsychotic, and it was hell for me, it affected me in so many ways, especially my voice. It gave me something called tardive dyskinesia, and messed up my speech, because I have these mild jaw and tongue movements. Thankfully in my case it's mild. I've seen people who can barely talk. But I'm currently on the search for a vocal coach to see if the damage is permanent. Oh, and the way it messed up with my dopamine was too much. I had no pleasure whatsoever at things I used to like. I was a zombie like you just described. It just wasn't worth it. I was tired all the time. I've also been on Zyprexa, which was "better" than Risperdal but I didn't like the weight gain, and also felt tired most of the day. Then my doc switched me to Abilify which I've been on for about 4 months now. I've been doing okay, mostly, but yeah, it's not a fun medication for sure to be on. But what I wanted to say is that my view on anti-psychotics is that they are a poison that I need to take to function. My hallucinations have probably been reduced by 60% 65%? I think (don't really know how to measure that.) And like you, paranoia is the hardest to handle. I have good and bad days. There are days where I can't even open the curtains/blinds, 'cause I don't want anyone to see me, or think that people are waiting there for me. But yeah, in the end, everyone is different, and everyone reacts differently to medications. I've read a few comments on reddit of people that had good experiences on Risperdal, Zyprexa, etc. Anyway, nice mic ya got there.

What do you think about clozapine? Would you ever try it?

[@AK-ek4ze]

There's a relatively new antipsychotic medication in Japan called Lonasen (Blonanserin), approved by PMDA in Jan 2008.

[@Molly-sv9yn]

I have a question regarding the medication clozapine...so I had a psychotic break in college in 2010 and I ended up in a psych ward for about 8 weeks. They had no idea what was wrong with me, tried lots of meds, and I ended up leaving on lithium and clozapine. I slowly came back to my normal self, returned to college, continued my life, worked. Never had another psychotic experience. Never dealt with delusions again. I was on this drug for 8 years. Starting from March-November my psychiatrist and I decided to slowly taper down and see what would happen. I never had any symptoms while doing this. We monitered my decreasing every couple weeks. It wasn't until the final finishing of 12.5mg which I was on for about 4 weeks that my sleep was completely taken away from me. My mind couldn't sleep. I haven't had any psychotic symptoms but my sleep is still messed up and my psychiatrist wanted to put on zyprexa or seroquel instead. I tried both for a very short period and hated them so I declined it. If I wasn't having psychotic symptoms, why should I take another antipsychotic? Anyway, I am still able to go about my day and live my life but my head doesn't feel right. I think this is withdrawal from 8 years of being on the drug. Do you think my mind will return to normal again? Is this damage from the drug? I don't want to turn to another drug knowing how dangerous and damaging this drug has been to my mind. I don't want to go back to the drug either, but I was able to feel someone more normal on the low dose. I would have to restart my bloodwork every week for 6 months. Again it should be known that my diagnosis was never even clear. What happened was in college I didn't sleep for 3 days straight, I was out of my mind and I had my roommate drive me to the hospital. From there, it was 8 weeks of hell. I finally left and regained my mentality and life continued.

[@Molly-sv9yn]

What scares me is that my mind has been destroyed by a drug that was prescribed when I am 99.9% sure i do not even have schizophrenia. I had that one psychotic break and I was delusional but I wasn't hearing voices, I wasn't hallucinating. I was also being given drugs in a hospital daily and in an extremely stressful state.

[@katier4288]

I am on antipsychotic medication for my paranoia. It helps me not feel the paranoia but it buffers my emotions so much. I feel emotionally & physically numb. I want to feel alive again. Plus my memory is shit because these drugs. I want to switch to CBD oil because I have read online that it works similarly to atypical antipsychotics medication. I’m on seroquel. Before that it was Olanzipine & Hadol before that. Olanzipine made me feel paranoid & I had a reaction to Haldol that I had to be on Benadryl for.

[@Kalliopita]

When I was on Abilify, I had the worst time trying to go to sleep because my body felt so restless even though my mind was tired. I always felt sick to my stomach and weak, and then when the med hit it’s peak, I’d feel fine for the rest of the day. I had to stop it though because it made me vomit a lot. Right now my insurance won’t cover my next med, Latuda, so I’m not on anything right now.

[@buildingburning]

Hey man, when I was on the BETA-blocker Clonazepam/Klonopin daily, it began to make my anxiety WORSE instead of better. This confused me because it helps my anxiety when I take it as needed. After consulting about this I learned that BETA-blockers can actually begin to have the opposite effect and increase anxiety when taken daily, yet still help when not taken every day. Edit: Just wanted to add my two-cents in case this could be of help to you or anyone!

[@buildingburning]

I noticed my physical symptoms of anxiety (heart pounding, shaking, muscles tense, etc) would spike a LOT about 15-30 minutes after taking the Klonopin. After a few weeks or so, it began to feel as if the med was physically inducing a panic attack when it kicked-in. Keeping in mind, when I took Klonopin occasionally (prescribed 'as needed' rather than daily) it didn't make me anxious, but had its intended effect of decreasing anxiety. This only began happening with Klonopin when I took it daily. At first I wrote this effect off--because I figured it's a BETA blocker, it's meant to make me less anxious, so I figured it must be psychological and not the meds. But regardless, this happened consistently for about a month, every morning when the Klonopin would kick in. I researched online and consulted a psychiatrist, and apparently many meds can actually begin to have the opposite effect when taken daily due to the body adjusting and physically compensating for the presence of the med. Many others online mentioned this same effect from Klonopin. After I stopped taking it daily, it began to again have the desired effect of decreasing anxiety, and I still use it occasionally to this day with good results. But I will never again try to take it every day! Tbh, this experience of reversed effects when taken daily has made me more wary of having any meds prescribed daily.

[@viitizx9880]

About schizophrenia's dopamine levels, it's not that simple that there's just extremely high amounts of dopamine. It is estimated and researched that especially D2-dopamine receptors can be oversensitive to dopamine causing these positive symptoms and dopamine overactivity is pretty clearly seen especially in mesolimbic pathway. However, on the mesocortical pathway there's too little dopamine activity causing these negative symptoms and for example D1-dopamine receptors can be underfunctioning in schizophrenia.

[@yepsirree]

yeah the companies are out for profit- so they are trying to design "one size fits as many as possible" drugs, hence all the side effects. if they really focused on one illness at a time, or one condition, the profit margin would be much smaller. unfortunately, they are the only ones mass producing these medications, having swallowed up most of the market for their own control. makes me angry, and makes it difficult for me to take medications because i get fixated on those things. but i need something. *sigh

[@KimRobbins]

I thought I would respond in case I can help . . . If someone can get the right information up front it would be best to not go on any meds. However, that's not always possible. Proper neurological testing should be first. MRI to rule out "other" things that may possibly be the cause for symptoms. Then, TRY to find someone who specializes in the illness. Seroquel (Quetiapine) is one of the gentler antipsychotics. But it's not without it's issues. My son is on 400mg and has been for about 3 years. We'd prefer he not need them but I don't think he's ready yet to come off of them. Definitely do A LOT of research. People have had symptoms reversed through Orthomolecular means (vitamin therapy sort of) and nutrition changes. Also, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) could possibly help a great deal! Hope this helps🙂

[@alicefaitdescarabistouille924]

It's the carence of dopamine which lead to akathisia and gaining weight.

[@artisbeauty0822]

Not only are your dopamine levels high, but it's going into the parts of your brain that cause hallucinations etc...

[@LilaLila-rp9uu]

Yes i know someone was there refusing medication :) 💜

[@orangeblueandlavenda]

i am finding that i only need 75 percent of my medication

[@alannacarlson6715]

Im on a TINY dose of seroquel and it knocks me out

[@primativemath3265]

Zyprexa saved my life.

[@JorgeLopez-ct2ur]

It basically makes you a zombie, that's what it's supposed to do

[@salnation189]

Aggression is called... being a human being. Being stubborn is called.... being a human being. You're a human being. You're not mentally ill, you're just... human. Welcome to humanity.

[@MrAvaraa]

This is wisdom

[@josephevers9312]

That's good until you're being extra human and getting fired from jobs and losing longterm relationships lol. If you're just a little angrier than average you're probably not mentally ill or have a pretty manageable case

[@MrAvaraa]

Its not true btw that schizophrenia causes dopamine levels to increase, its often the opposite also. In my case, when im feeling better, and my dopamine and endorphins levels rise, my delusions, and pretty much all other symptoms also vanish. Interesting right?

Individuals suffering from mental are not exactly the apples eye to politicians. State and Federal. Face it we are not very Sexy.

They've made Latuda and few others. For me, the atypicals are complete crap.

[@85downtown]

Have u tought that your memory is....Well i have noticed it by watching your videos :) Sami

[@user-ir6eb4gd2g]

what brought you to schizophrenia my friend

[@glorytogod1379]

have you tried putting your hands together and praying and trying to understand your life from start to finish? i believe it could be a higher power or universal thing trying to communicate with us - perhaps even animals. i've prayed a lot now i just talk to the birds and ants and all sorts of things. its a big learning curve i believe to understand your inner self and who you are if that makes sense.

[@gabrieltdu5780]

i wonder if a guy with your problems could have survived a thousand years ago .when people clubbed each other to death.my life is not incapacitated but i struggle to cope with stress at work.i bet my ptsd will eat me alive in a few years.haha

[@thesoul2871]

yes but they still do chemical libotmies & lovotmies

[@alexvidakovic]

Jacob, maybe you should watch some of your old videos to see how easily you were losing focus, how distracted you were with all the hallucinations, hands coming out of the wall and other stuff, it would take you several minutes to say a single phrase, you were forgetting all the time. You're totally different person now, you talk normally, totally focused, cheerful, etc. I think your current meds are working. I'm just curious about side effects of Seroquel, do you have any serious? If so, are they lesser comparing to other meds you tried? I recommended it to a friend of mine who is struggling severely with clonozepam, or something like that. Clozepam just doesn't work for him and he's depressed all the time, talks crap, thinks crap, it's awful.

[@satcoup]

All these meds are poison

[@waynepreston5637]

Hello from England I don't like people much only the few I like orange juice.

[@gabrieltopan9315]

Schizophrenia is Kundalini aweakaning. ther are plants witch can help ancor high energies. You are not sick you are ungrounded.look into grounding and start doing a sport it will help a lot

[@klv19xx]

Gabriel Topan illness is a real thing. Diabetes exists, heart disease exists, so do schizophrenia and bipolar

[@gabrieltopan9315]

So dose a cure for it .You can heal evrithing just need to know how.Bipolar is double personality . Fracturation in personality happens becouse the person is not accepting one side of themselfs. I leave you a link to this guy hi talks about kundalini and schizophremnia .And dont take medication , just plants. Damiana , St. John's wort , Salbei Cannabis ( micro dosing ) Gingseng and my favorite exercizez all sports posible when you under sport presure you align yourself and can fix the situation. here is the link take care kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5TKdmOqfah5n6M

[@klv19xx]

Bipolar is not two personalities. It is extreme mood fluctuations. Multiple personalities is a different diagnosis completely, and not even the same kind of illness. Plants can and do help, but medications are needed. I encourage you to do some research on mental health issues.

[@gabrieltopan9315]

swinging betwen depresion and happines.shamans have that becouse they dont accept the way they walk. People who meditate have that becouse they dident do theyr iner work.and iner work hase to do with your shadow self witch is you bad side or the side that you dont wana accept.so you second personality is the bad one the bad toughts the bad trauma the bad stuff . you need to love that side and accept it and then you heal the situation.good luck

[@klv19xx]

Gabriel Topan mania and happiness are two different things. Personally and affect are two different things. If it were as easy as accepting yourself, there would be barely anyone with mental illness. Acceptance is important, but it's not the whole answer.
