Duration of medication after first episode
Hi all, I was wondering how long you all stayed on
antipsychotics
after your first episode. Also was wondering how long you were well before completely stopping medication, and if you received another diagnosis besides PP.

Glad to be here ❤️
I’m no longer on
antipsychotics
but do take a daily SSRI. Besides gaining 50 lbs while on the
antipsychotics
, I feel well and like myself; however, I haven’t met anyone in person who has had PP and would love to connect with a community that is familiar with this condition.

Olanzapine indefinitely
I might want to stay on it indefinitely but I’m scared of things like tardive dyskinesia which can come on once you’ve been on
antipsychotics
for a long time. Is anyone here staying on Olanzapine indefinitely?

RLS or Akathisia or both?
I was on antidepressants and
antipsychotics
for 41 years. I tried to quit taking them in December 21 but had to go back on Zoloft at a low dose. I did quit Wellbutrin and Abilify and have been messed up ever since. I see where Abilify is strongly implicated in causing akathisia.

What medication is recommended or advised during pregnancy after having an episode of PP?
. & I don't seem to be experiencing any of the negative effects the other
antipsychotics
I had to take in the past (as yet no massive weight gain or heavy sedation).

Hi my journey is a little different.......
I had never experienced anything like this before or since and the doctors in the mental health unit said physical issues should be investigated; but this was not followed up I was placed on
antipsychotics
, and no physical-illness checks were done at all.

Hoping for some advice:)
The doctors put me on a very high dose of
antipsychotics
and ultimately when I can home I was completely numb to the point where I couldn’t really move or do anything and felt the most awful feelings I’d ever felt in my life.

Drug induced Parkinsons
That might be certain drugs that are called “Atypical
antipsychotics
” Here is a list of just a few other common drugs in that list. I hope this may help a few of you. There are also some other type of drugs that can cause it.

Antipsychotics
my daughter who is 44 has had personality disorder problems since the age of 16. However she has managed a marriage and bringing up two teenage boys . She is now divorced but has a good friendly relationship with her ex. I hate to see some of the meds she seemingly has to take but the latest prescription

Thyroid Hormone Use in Mood Disorders: Revisiting the Evidence
Careful use of T3 and L-T4 can be critical mood-stabilizing options, especially for depressive illness that has not responded to first-line therapies, and can provide an alternative to other augmentation strategies such as atypical
antipsychotics
, lithium, or esketamine/ketamine.

Hi, I’m in my mid-30s and have been on lithium and atypical-
antipsychotics
for the past 10 years. Two years ago a mental health clinic added zoplicone to the mix - so I’ve been taking 3.75mg (on a good night) to 15mg (when things are scary) every night.

I switched
antipsychotics
due to potential weight gain but will probably go back to the original because it definitely helped more. My depression has been really bad lately, I hate working and don't feel like existing (not suicidal). Hopefully I can get out of this funk but who knows.
