Common Questions and Answers about Psychotic reaction drugs

psychotic

Avatar n tn Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.
Avatar f tn Suppose a person is diagnosed with schizo. after seeing a doctor for only a week and is prescribed anti psychotic drugs. The doctor does not know anything about the patient's history or events leading to hospitalization( such as lack of sleep and food for three days straight). If the diagnoses was wrong and the person doesn't need to be on these types of drugs, what kind of affect would it have on a person's brain and ability to function?
Avatar f tn I really cant help if after the birth of her last baby, if she wasnt put on an antidepressant, and shes not having a bad reaction. News says she is in hospital now and try are trying to get a court order to force her to take the meds which she is currently refusing. Mabey SHE knows more than the doctors regarding whats making her act so bizzare...

Avatar f tn That's the problem with drugs, they mess with your brain and make you get completely weird. I have a close friend who smoked a ton of pot and dropped acid twice and she had a psychotic break and had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic with psychotic episodes. She has tried every treatment under the sun but nothing worked so they had to use electroshock therapy. It's a bad scene and she is totally messed up now because of the drugs.
Avatar n tn I suppose anyone can have a strange reaction to something but I've never heard of marijuana producing a psychotic reaction. People will have their underlying mood exaggerated by it, so if your son is anxious marijuana might make him more so. Much more so. And that can set off conditioned thinking, so such people should avoid it. But it sounds like something else to me or what you're describing isn't accurate, just an acute thing going on between the two of you.
Avatar f tn My doctor changed my medicine to another anti-psychotic, and my pupils stopped getting large.
382594 tn?1266610613 Yes, I have severe psychotic reaction to Elavil as well as physical reactions. A doc put me on it about 10 yrs. ago and I had to stop after 1 dose because of it. Different person's chemistries can react in completely unpredicatble ways to medications.
Avatar f tn It would be wierd that seraquel would cause this on your daughter since situations as your daughter is experiencing is made better by Seraquel,,,,hearing voices is not a side effect and I have never heard of this,,but do talk to your doctor because everyone is different when it comes to medications,,also it could be a bad reaction of two drugs being mixed together.
12268405 tn?1427853361 On April 2nd I made the decision to admit myself to a psychiatric hospital due to a psychotic episode. The thing that I'm having the hardest time comprehending is if I induced the episode or not. I convinced myself that I was covered in fleas, I heard voices saying my name and calling me worthless in the past, & I experienced paranoia. I don't know what to think right now. I wish I could know if I made the symptoms worse or not...
933174 tn?1375792553 Keep seeing the p work, psychotic, sort gets me worried. I don't see myself as psychotic. My doctor doesn't think I'm psychotic, I think he just thinks that when I'm very depressed I can get this way. I remember calling my therapist while I was in San Diego on a nightmare vacation, where the whole time I thought I had rabies or something was terriblly wrong with me. I might add, I was also on a medication for birth control called yaz, which I think contributed to the whole thing.
1082697 tn?1260064616 m not a huge fan of anti-psychotic drugs for depression or anxiety.
Avatar f tn ve been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I get horrible depression because of my bipolar. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick.
Avatar m tn What OTHER drugs? Opiods, Mushrooms, etc.. Some drugs (I have heard) do cause hallucinations, etc.. when coming down. I think your son needs to see a doctor who specializes in multiple addiction withdrawals. I can tell you that the lorazepam, is a drug best NOT stopped cold-turkey, but not sure how much he took of that either. Good luck with your son, but your question is a difficult one to answer due to several unknowns.
605458 tn?1539228808 There are a lot of drugs listed, but a common kind people use to help them fall asleep are the antianxiety drugs like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin. Could they be added? And/or just an Other, because some people take medications like the antipsychotic Seroquel for inducing sleep when a person has a mood disorder.
5986700 tn?1380791380 I have taken almost every ssri in the book and I had a bad reaction to Wellbutrin. I think tho it was more this stuff Reglan I was taking for nausea. or the combo. none of the doctors could ever be sure. but they took me off the Wellbutrin real fast.
1645944 tn?1305243337 In the past few years, I have begun having a histamine reaction to Morphine and Dilaudid, which knocks out Demerol by association. When I received it by IV in the hospital, I broke out in a rash on my chest, felt like I couldn't breathe - like a weight was on my chest (even though my pulse ox was 100%), couldn't entirely move my arms and legs, and couldn't talk. So, there go the narcotics. Ummm, in two days they are gonna cut my head open, HELP?!
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with depression with psychotic features but every time I am hospitalized they diagnose me with schizoaffective disorder.

Avatar m tn I am suffering from OCD since 9 years and I had taken various types of SSRIs (prescribed by psychiatrists) during last four years I was on a high dose of Lavox with some psychotic drugs and and Clomaphranil. These drugs cause me to have a lot of sleep , I usually sleep about 12-14 hours a day. During these four years I had done nothing, I had not watched any movie,TV show not any game, sports and even had not participate in any type of social activity.
Avatar f tn I have had only 1 mild paranoid event during mania that came years after my first recognized mania, so I obviously DO NOT understand psychotic features of BP at all. But my ex-husband has had many psychotic events. He has Bipolar Disorder w/ psychotic features. He has gone into psychosis many times, and is extremely paranoid. After reading the Bipolar Child I see that he has been bipolar his whole life, and has only been diagnosed 3 months ago.
