Avatar f tn The HR and BP are lower at rest, while the HR picks up and BP is elevated during emotional stress and exercise. The control of the HR and BP are with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The former increases the HR and BP while the latter reduces them. Marciamcm, Normally, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work together in a very efficient and cooperative manner. From time to time, this system breaks down in people with NMS.

Avatar m tn Neuraleptic malignant syndrome is a rare adverse reaction to an antipsychotic while someone is taking it and has a high fever and can be fatal. That would be immediately noted and is not what you are talking about. What you described from your posts sounded like it could potentially be tardive dyskinesia (a long term movement disorder for more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia"). The best thing to do is to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist.
3123787 tn?1384180687 It sounds like the hospital did a terrible thing and it sounds like you have proof from your discharge papers. However, I think that you may be confused about thinking that you have a life span of 40 days. I found the following, " These symptoms can last anywhere from eight hours to forty days." and "When recognized early NMS can be successfully managed, however up to 10% of cases can be fatal.
Avatar m tn My wife has come down with what the Dr's think is NMS. She is in a catatonic state and has been so for 3 weeks after taking Olanzapine. does anyone out there have any experience with this (NMS) and what is the prognosis. I am told to just wait it out but for how long, will she recover, what will she be like????? she is on a feeding tube and vitals are stable. I greatly appreciate any help you can offer!
Avatar f tn I might be pregnant and my psychiatrist told me not to worry about the embryo. He told me that even while I'm taking 15 mg of Aripiprazole and 50 mg of Sertraline daily, there is no danger. I'm really worried. if I'm pregnant,would these doses harm my embryo being taken daily?
Avatar f tn Hi I'm on 50mg of methadone and 10mg of aripiprazole and I'm wondering if I should keep taking the 2 together as it makes me mega drowsy and also is this combination a thing to worry av about can someone let me know please?
Avatar f tn What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.
1512628 tn?1304974064 Vasovagal syncope (sometimes abbreviated VVS), neurally mediated syncope [NMS]—which is a term that is probably least frequently used of all of these, and neurocardiogenic syncope (often seen as NCS) are used pretty much interchangeably to mean syncope (fainting) that is not from a strictly cardiac origin. Cardiac causes of syncope are a completely different class of health problems.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with NMS about 3 yrs ago and since it has just gotten worse and worse. I feel like I am making excuses at times because it doesn't seem like that serious of a problem to a lot of people, including doctors who constantly blow me off when I go to see them and tell that that it's just how my heart is - basically I feel they are saying "get over it".
774805 tn?1235948571 yes antipsychotic and called abilify in ireland and Us.
Avatar m tn I would try replacing the Aripiprazole (Abilify) and the Sertraline (Zoloft) by taking 25mg of 5-HTP 3x Daily for 1 week as anymore than this could induce Serotonin Syndrome. I would then recommend swapping the tablets out for a 5-HTP transdermal patch which will release a more even dose of 5-HTP throughout the day especially if you have BPD as otherwise the oral form could cause mania.
Avatar f tn I have just started taking Aripiprazole(Abilify) and have found it to have some beneficial effects on my mood. However I am also finding myself to be extremely drowsy. I have heard that this side effect wears off with time. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first antipsychotic I've taken that's had any effect so I don't want to stop it but the fact I can literally go to sleep while standing up is making my life difficult.
Avatar m tn Since three days ago I noticed these rashes in my right armpit. They itch mildly and I feel mild discomfort. Can anyone tell me what these are? Are there any over the counter medications I should try? * Age: 25 * Sex: Male * Height: 5 feet 5 * Weight: 70 kg * Race: South Asian * Duration of complaint: 3 days * Location (Geographic and on body): Right armpit * Any existing relevant medical issues (if any) * Current medications (if any): Fluoxetine 40mg/day, Aripiprazole 2.5 mg/day.
Avatar f tn Patients should not use ABILIFY if they are allergic to aripiprazole or any of the ingredients in ABILIFY. Allergic reactions have ranged from rash, hives and itching to anaphylaxis, which may include difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue.
1348086 tn?1370783185 My mother (she is 78) fell yesterday in the early evening and she will be all right but she busted her nose and knee and we had to get her to the hospital by ambulance. My therapist says that my mom is the culprit to my anxiety and other mental issues. When this happened I was on my way to pick up my daughter from the ex-wife. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. We brought her home at around 10:00 and I had to get up early to get my daughter ready for kindergarten.
Avatar n tn I want to thank you for your response to my question about Resperdol. My son is doing much better now after 12 days, two hospital visits, and multiple doctor visits. Good news is that the neurologist does not think the symptoms will be permanent and we have seen the negative effects subside each day. The neurologist stated this was an unusual reaction but from what I've read...2% of the population have this severe toxicity kind of reaction.
Avatar f tn 2 anti psychotics,one is trifluoperazine and trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride combo and other one aripiprazole mt 5 and 1 mg of lorazepam for sleep. i want to see my pdoc but i am afraid he will give me ect as i saw some nurses in his room which i never seen in past 12 years. i am quite numb and can't respond to any kind of assault. it is really frustrating. since i am on anti psychotics, can i stop it by taking half for 15 days and then quarter for 15 days.
Avatar f tn I have been off my meds because i ran out of refills for 21 days now (i used to take 10mg aripiprazole, 80mg duloxotine, and bupropion HCL XL 300mg.) i dont know if that would effect my period but it’s worth a shot putting it out there. I feel as though something is really wrong but I cannot afford a doctor/emergency care because i have no insurance or income. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know what’s happening with my body?
Avatar f tn Additional signs may include elevated CPK, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis) and acute renal failure. NMS is potentially fatal and requires symptomatic treatment and immediate discontinuation of neuroleptic treatment. I have never heard of it before but it sounds like a drug that just keeps on giving doesnt it...
Avatar m tn and asked for a MRI (LSS) and lab tests which are serum calcium and ESR and TSH and blood sugar and i did the MRI but the pain is getting more and i slightly don't feel my leg as it have became heavy but as i said slightly but noticeable and i actually cant wait till Saturday as i am using a crutch and using my hand and one leg to move my body as the left leg hurts when i move it and specially when i put pressure and it feels like a nerve not a muscle nor a bone as i have had pain in both (
Avatar f tn Venlafaxine is used to treat general anxiety and abilify(aripiprazole) is used to treat depression. Good luck!!!!

3123787 tn?1384180687 Now i cant pee anymore? It looked like green snot. I think i caught NMS from antiphycotic drugs. Today is 1 month, & out of predzone. Very dizzy This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Urology/Urinary-track-infection/show/1027548">Urinary track infection</a>.
Avatar n tn I'm a little confused. Your suffering a major clinical depression and your worried about gaining weight? When I was suffering from this disease at it's worst, even if taking an AD medication ment that my hair would fall out and would cause me to gain 400Lbs, I would have still taken it. That's how bad I wanted the pain to stop. They all have side effects without exception.
