Drugs

An antipsychotic (or neuroleptic) is a tranquilizing psychiatric medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions or hallucinations, as well as disordered
thought), particularly in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. A first generation of antipsychotics, known astypical antipsychotics, was discovered in the 1950s. Most of the drugs in the second generation, known as atypical antipsychotics, have been developed more recently, although the first atypical antipsychotic, clozapine, was discovered in the 1950s and introduced clinically in the 1970s. Both generations of medication tend to block receptors in the brain's dopamine pathways, but antipsychotic drugs encompass a wide range of receptor targets. A number of harmful and undesired (adverse) effects have been observed, including lowered life expectancy, weight gain, decrease in brain volume, enlarged breasts and milk discharge in men and women (hyperprolactinaemia), lowered white blood cell count (agranulocytosis), involuntaryrepetitive body movements (tardive dyskinesia), diabetes, an inability to sit still or remain motionless (akathisia), sexual dysfunction, a return of psychosis requiring increasing the dosage due to cells producing more neurochemicals to compensate for the drugs (tardive psychosis), and a potential for permanent chemical dependence leading to psychosis much worse than before treatment began, if the drug dosage is ever lowered or stopped (tardive dysphrenia).
[citation needed]
Temporary withdrawal symptoms including insomnia, agitation, psychosis, and motor disorders may occur during dosage reduction of antipsychotics, and can be mistaken for a return of the underlying condition.
[2][3]
The development of new antipsychotics with fewer of these adverse effects and with greater relative effectiveness as compared to existing antipsychotics (efficacy), is an ongoing field of research.

Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it. Do NOT drink alcohol while you are using Haldol. Check with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Haldol; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness. Do NOT use more than the recommended dose without checking with your doctor. Haldol may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Haldol. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time. Do not become overheated in hot weather or while you are being active; heatstroke may occur. Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Haldol before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery. NMS is a possibly fatal syndrome that can be caused by Haldol. Symptoms may include fever; stiff muscles; confusion; abnormal thinking; fast or irregular heartbeat; and sweating. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms. Some patients who take Haldol may develop muscle movements that they cannot control. This is more likely to happen in elderly patients, especially women. The chance that this will happen or that it will become permanent is greater in those who take Haldol in higher doses or for a long time. Muscle problems may also occur after short-term treatment with low doses. Tell your doctor at once if you have muscle problems with your arms; legs; or your tongue, face, mouth, or jaw (eg, tongue sticking out, puffing of cheeks, mouth puckering, chewing movements) while taking Haldol. Diabetes patients - Haldol may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine. Haldol may lower the ability of your body to fight infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection like fever, sore throat, rash, or chills. Haldol may increase the amount of a certain hormone (prolactin) in your blood. Symptoms may include enlarged breasts, missed menstrual period, decreased sexual ability, or nipple discharge. Contact your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms. Haldol may rarely cause a prolonged, painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if this happens. Lab tests, including complete blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Haldol. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments. Use Haldol with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially uncontrolled muscle movements. Haldol should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed. PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of taking Haldol while you are pregnant.

How should I take fluphenazine?

Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication. Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. Fluphenazine oral solution concentrate solution must be mixed with at least 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of a liquid such as milk, tomato juice, fruit juice (but not apple juice), or a soft drink that does not contain caffeine. To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your liver and kidney function may need to be checked with blood tests on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are taking fluphenazine. Do not stop using fluphenazine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or feeling shaky. Talk to your
doctor about how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using fluphenazine. Store fluphenazine at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Do not allow liquid medicine to freeze. See also: Prolixin dosage (in more detail)

How to use Navane:

Use Navane as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Take Navane by mouth with or without food. If you miss a dose of Navane, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Navane.
Navane may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or fainting. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Navane with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it. Do not drink alcohol or use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Navane; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness. Navane may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects. Navane may lower the ability of your body to fight infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection like fever, sore throat, rash, or chills. Navane may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Navane. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time. Do not become overheated in hot weather or while you are being active; heatstroke may occur. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a possibly fatal syndrome that can be caused by Navane. Symptoms may include fever; stiff muscles; confusion; abnormal thinking; fast or irregular heartbeat; and sweating. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms. Some patients who take Navane may develop muscle movements that they cannot control. This is more likely to happen in elderly patients, especially women. The chance that this will happen or that it will become permanent is greater in those who take Navane in higher doses or for a long time. Muscle problems may also occur after short-term treatment with low doses.

How should I take Seroquel?

Never take Seroquel in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. High doses or long-term use of Seroquel can cause a serious movement disorder that may not be reversible. Symptoms of this disorder include tremors or other uncontrollable muscle movements. Take Seroquel exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Take this medicine with a full glass of water. You may take Seroquel with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow the pill whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Seroquel may cause you to have high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Talk to your doctor if you have any signs of hyperglycemia such as increased thirst or urination, excessive hunger, or weakness. If you are diabetic, check your blood sugar levels on a regular basis while you are taking Seroquel. This medication can cause you to have a false positive drug screening test. If you provide a urine sample for drug screening, tell the laboratory staff that you are taking Seroquel. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of Seroquel can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, fast heart rate, feeling light-headed, or fainting.
What should I avoid while taking Seroquel?

Seroquel may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. You may be more prone to heat stroke. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase certain side effects of Seroquel. See also: Seroquel and alcohol (in more detail)

Luxury Drug Rehab

What is Clozaril?
Clozaril (clozapine) is an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain. Clozaril is used to treat severe schizophrenia. It is also used to reduce the risk of suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia or similar disorders. Clozaril is usually given after other medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms. Clozaril may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information about Clozaril

Clozaril is not for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Clozaril may cause heart failure, sudden death, or pneumonia in older adults with dementia-related conditions. You should not take Clozaril if you are allergic to clozapine, or if you have untreated or uncontrolled epilepsy, a bone marrow disorder, paralytic ileus or intestinal blockage, a history of infection caused by taking Clozaril, or if you are also using drugs that weaken your immune system (such as cancer medicine or steroids). Clozaril can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to develop a serious or life-threatening infection. This risk is higher in women and older adults, and in people who are malnourished or have serious medical problems. While you are taking Clozaril, your blood will need to be tested every week for the first 6 months of treatment, and then every 2 to 4 weeks. Do not miss any follow-up visits to your doctor. Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur during treatment with Clozaril. Call your doctor right away if you have signs of infection such as: fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, mouth or throat ulcers, cough, sore throat, rapid heart rate, or rapid and shallow breathing. There are many other medicines that can interact with Clozaril. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.

Clozaril Dosing Information

Usual Adult Clozaril Dose for Schizophrenia: Treatment resistant schizophrenia: Initial dose: 12.5 mg orally once or twice a day. Maintenance dose: If the first dose is well- tolerated, dosages may then be titrated in daily increments of 25 mg to 50 mg for approximately two weeks until a daily dose of 300 to 450 mg is achieved. If, after the initial titration, a larger dose is necessary a slower increase in dose, not to exceed a 100 mg increment once or twice a week, may be initiated. Cautious titration and a divided dosage schedule may minimize the risks of hypotension, seizure, and sedation in the patient. However, sedation following daytime doses may necessitate administration of most or all of the daily dose at bedtime. Maximum Clozaril dose: 900 mg per day. Reduction of the risk of recurrent suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder: Initial dose: 12.5 mg orally once or twice a day.
