Have they given you an actual test or a brain scan or a chemical imbalance test? I doubt it they make these haphazard guesses and it’s all a ploy to prescribe drugs that affect dopamine and therefore cause a chemical imbalance! Please don’t believe everything they’ve told you if your depressed or sad it could be vitamin deficiencies or lack of vit D not enough sun or nature or as with many who were being abused it’s a normal reaction nonstop like these will ever cure the abuse but do allow the abusers to continue it and the victims can’t think straight or defend themselves that’s even more worrying when victims get re victimised by the systems they turn to for help! Hope your ok is get a sensitivity hair test see if you’ve got any food allergies as well I had two autoimmune disorders and 100 food allergies I was maliciously poisoned having heart crisis the hospital ignored it all! I had to pay for private tests to get to the bottom of all my physical health issues! Stay strong just please don’t believe everything a psychiatrist tells you they’re on repeat it’s all they learned and their limited knowledge is dangerous when they’re giving drugs over legal doses most of them won’t know half of what this guy does about the drugs they prescribe!

At first I started with Aripiprazol and it felt like I was having a stroke. My heart rate was over 100 bpm for hours and I lost some feeling in my feet, hands, and shoulders. Then I was put on zyprexa with benzotropine, and while tired for the first week, it made the agitation and anger subside significantly. Then after a week I went off the benzotropine and only take zyprexa at night. It’s helped me get a really good night’s rest and now I can actually wake up around 9am in the morning and have an energetic and productive day, something rarely ever possible before. My doctor gave me permission to up my dose to 10mg per day, but I elected to stay at 5mg because I believe having as little dependency on medication as possible. After a month of taking Zyprexa, I can say it was the right medicine for me, and I am very grateful for it.

Then I said to my psychiatrics that she prescribe me SSRI, and she did. Thank God, they're helping me. Then I was one day on Quetiapine and my heart pulse was very fast. I was in hospital in 2021, psychiatrics gave me Risperidon. Trash also. And now I'm on Haloperidol. Want to taper off, because I'm not very happy how I look - I need to lose some kg.

The talking to oneself part he mentioned in 22:40, is that a common symptom of schizophrenia or other mental disorders? I don't talk but I whisper to myself at times and have conversations in my head. I have done this for years and it used to be just conversations in my head. However, now I do zone out and whisper to myself at moments of the day. I have tried to stop and was able to for a few weeks but it just comes back whether I want it to or not. What could be wrong with me? I'm afraid to tell psychiatrists this because I was over medicated about two years ago. Was given 5 medications at once and was told that they shouldn't have been mixed together like that. Now I feel my brain isn't the same, like I don't have my intelligence anymore and my memory is bad.

I have been dealing with anxiety attacks and depression for approximately three years. Over the past two years, I have been trying different antidepressants without much success. Recently, my psychiatrist suggested that I might have bipolar disorder, although I disagree with this diagnosis. He prescribed me Zyprexa, but after conducting research and watching your video, I am strongly against taking it (I haven't started yet). Furthermore, I am concerned that the antidepressant (Zoloft) and antianxiety (Buspar) medications I am currently taking are not providing significant relief. I am exhausted from constantly switching medications every three to four months when they lose effectiveness. I am seriously questioning whether it is beneficial for me to continue taking all these medications. Although they help reduce the frequency of my attacks, my anxiety always returns, and I continue to experience depression. I am contemplating gradually stopping all medication.

I was on 20mg Olanzapine for my Bipolar 1 for a few years. My psychotic and paranoia symptoms were controlled. That was very good and I felt better than I had done. However I was so tired most of the time and was convinced it was just "perils of old age". When replaced with Quetipine I felt so much better and got my energy back. With Quetipine I have no serious side effects and my symptoms are well controlled. However some meds may be effective for some people, whilst others may find an alternative works better. It is always best to see a Doctor for advice and treatment. God Bless. Good health to you!

Try herbs like valerian, passionflower, camomile, melissa, ashwaganda, or red kratom. CBD and small doses of melatonin (1 mg or less to avoid dependence) might work too.

I had some side effects with them too (aphasia and stuttering), although they seem to have less long-term health risks.

It made me gain weight, get prediabetes, completely changed my body's physical profile and metabolic functioning permanently and I still struggle with high blood twenty five years later. I was put on Seroquel after that, 1000mgs for 11 years and it was slightly better - I no longer ate until I threw up and then would eat some more, sometimes as much as 12,000 calorie binges in a few hours I felt so starved and hungry, and the Seroquel, even though milder also damaged my metabolic system, too.

When I was on this antipsychotic, I only knew it as Olanzapine. I think this is the one I used to get shot into my butt cheeks. It didn't do anything for me except make me feel shaky and the world around me shaky. I couldn't distinguish what was meds side-effects or what was the schizophrenia. The insomnia and nightmares that had me waking up in cold sweats, I don't miss those days. Sounds contradictory, having insomnia and nightmares, but it's a real thing. You'll go long periods of sleeplessness, and when you do fall asleep (you're freaking dead tired by now), it won't be for long, only a few minutes, maybe, but I remember lying on a slaughtering table in hell and the demons were trying to hold down my kicking feet. Let's just say, I woke up and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to sleep. That happened probably because I stopped meds cold turkey. Still, I didn't know what was side-effects or illness because they were so close in their presentation, and the demons would tell me these things were their doing. I also was never warned about any side-effects, but i suppose i was so freaking gone they didn't think i would understand anyway. But more on the insomia, I was told by the angels to stay awake because I'd die in my sleep through witchcraft, so then that also made me want to stay up. The meds I remember being on were risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine. I only know those because they were the ones I was on the longest. Risperidone was the last one I took. It was a small pink pill that melted on my tongue. I stopped it after driving one day (had made considerable progress by this time) and then pulled my parking brake, thinking I was still parked. I was shocked after being freaked out by the loud screeching noise. I made it home without any accidents and went, and for the first time being on antipsychotics, I looked at the side effects. I read through the list and came up to the words, "may cause confusion." I laughed at the absurdity. To think I was living in a confused world, and the medicine that was supposed to be helping me has a side effect of confusion, the vary thing i was struggling with. I had to laugh. I never touched it or any other antipsychotic again and never experienced such confusion while on the road again. I'm not against meds, but they just weren't for me. I found my own way through and beyond schizophrenia.

Were you abusing drugs or alcohol? Did you have low self esteem? Address that kind of stuff in therapy. Eat healthy and move your body daily. Reiki and acupuncture can honestly work wonders too (I know it’s controversial, but give it a try, so much of this is energetic). I was diagnosed bipolar type 1, took meds for 5 years, went off bc of health problems, and now I’ve been med free and more stable than ever for 2.5 years. I don’t expect to have another episode because I’ve addressed and healed the root cause of my “disorder.” My hypothesis is that so many of us with this diagnosis were having a trauma response combined with dysregulating lifestyle choices (like addictions and erratic sleep patterns). Work on yourself, stay positive, and you can overcome.

Im taking it along with Fluvoxamine for severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I feel better (and also dont have as many motor tics anymore) but I’m not sure which drug is helping. I tried many antidepressants for years and it didn’t help which is why I’m also taking Olanzapine. I also tried many as needed anxiety meds and the only thing that worked was benzodiazepines. My dose of Olanzapine was increased since I was still needing Clonazepam to sleep without panic attacks and Im supposed to be getting off of benzos. I tried recreational drugs as well and it also does not help. I just don’t know what else I can take.

I got prescribed this drug to treat my insomnia. After taking it, I could sleep just fine, but then I'd feel like a zombie for the rest of the day, and being home all day long would eventually cause me to overthink and feel really anxious. I couldn't even go out for a walk because I felt as if my body was anchored to my bed. I would even get very argumentative with my parents, I was very irritable.

Subscribed. I take Olanzapine for extreme anxiety. Benzo's are no option since they do the opposite of what they're supposed to do. It is an absolute anxiety killer, but at a high price. 10 years ago I was athletic. Now I'm obese and a lot of my creativity is gone. That makes my job as a musician very tough. I managed to go down from 10mg to 5 mg and I'm doing fine on it. I don't have the zombie feeling I had at 10 mg. But it does make me feel indifferent. Note: I also take venlafaxine. I know the risks and I'm not happy with it, but I never want to go back to that extreme, constant anxiety that feels like you can die any moment...

Its an interesting thing as a patient with schizophrenia symptoms and often prescribed Zyprexa. I have been basically vocal about how the drug is actually only safe for episodes for myself at least and the doctor and my family basically cant wrap their head around the concept out of the fear of me not taking meds I need, essentially. It has helped but also has had some major negatives, especially with kind of an endless prescription. There seems like a disconnect between my doctor acknowledging my ability to understand the disease and consider my position on avoiding meds despite the seriousness of the illness. Anyway thanks for the video, this message basically should be more common knowledge for doctors it seems. I had to kind of take the liberty to deal with my issues with minimal medication and its basically going well, even though the Doctor still insists 10mg zyprexa is the way to go. Its more an exception that meds can be avoided, but unfortunately it seems not an option for many psychiatrists. Understandable because its not easy to always avoid heavy medication, but for my own sense of general awareness ive noticed a distrust i guess regarding respecting my autonomy on meds.

i have a close one who is diagnosed w/ ASD (previously Asperger's) and I think they put him on 1-2mg of risperidone. I personally think, especially knowing him VERY well, this was an improper prescription. But if you look at the indications for a lot of the newer antipsychotics, autism spectrum disorder is in there and my hunch is that it treats some of the more difficult-to-deal-with behavioral issues (emotional outbursts, irritation, anger, etc). ASD can be difficult for many caregivers based upon the severity of it, so I can understand why they'd want to prescribe tranquilizers. Still, at least in my loved one's case, I definitely think risperidone was an ill-fit. Hope this helps :)

How do you feel when you skip a day? The liquid suspension is a good idea. If you're tapering off 10% per step, got to the 25th day and skipped one day to see how you felt. If the one day you skipped was uncomfortable then you need to stay at that level. Try 25 more days. Skip a day see how it feels. 10% every month is severe. If you went to 5% each step, you still are completely done in less than two years. It's a matter of comfort. The pressure is absolutely huge, a more comfortable rate, leads to a more permanent repair.
