has anyone tried risperdal? other antipsychs? i've been thinking about it. i've been reading about it. i dunno about it. they scare the shit out of me. but i think i need something.
i know randy took abilify, i read summin about it. i can't remember.
-
I think they're bad. Haven't tried Risperdal but Trilafon, and that sucked. :( Better with good old Valium, if you can get hold of it.
-
I took seroquil but for sleep not in does they prescribe of antipsychotis and it fuck me up bad. Here is s forum that deal with this type of question all the time http://www.crazyboards.org /forums/ and another on the way back machine that describes what they do http://www.crazymeds.us/
-
I have taken Seroquel, it made me feel weird and sleepy. I took Risperdal in hospital and I twitched so badly that the doctors stopped giving it to me. I was also put on haloperidol when I first went in because I was a bit psychotic or something and that stuff knocked me out and I liked it because of that but it would not be good to take regularly I think because it is so strong.
Every time I go to the doctor they suggest I take antipsychotics but I won't. I want to stay away from them.
-
they are all correct. i have worked with dozens of clients on anti-psychotics and they should only be taken as a last resort, not even in low doses for sleep.
having said that i admit to taking compazine which is an insanely low dose of an antipsychotic - its used for nausea. i don't know what effect it has had on me. if anything i am depressed and anxious and don't understand why, so maybe it has affected me. i was never like this before and while i was in the hospital i took compazine almost daily.

i wouldn't bother with aps if i had valium endlessly.
i forgot crazymeds, thanks PARTS.
i was thinking of haloperidol but i dunno if i could get that stuff. i wish. :)
at the moment i'm taking 4 tryptophan caps that have b-vitamin in them a day and trying to remember 3 st johns a day but currently managing only 2 as i forget. mom's getting me GABA. i will see how that goes. but sometimes i feel i need something stronger. supplements are meek.

but why are antipsychs bad? i just want to stop the fucked upness. antipsychs lower dopamine and if i have too much then why not?
-
there are other things that work on dopamine.
most anti-psychotics have bad side effects - the most common i've seen were weight gain, diabetes and tics or other movement disorders.
check this out:
side effects (http://www.rethink.org/living_with_mental_illness/treatment_and_therapy/medication/antipsychotics/side_effects_of.html)
clearly an antipsychotic is better than walking into a fire, jumping off a bridge or dancing naked in the parking lot of the local big food store (all the same client) because you think someone is going to kill you. if its this bad, then you could consider it. if not, consider something else that can reduce your dopamine levels.
and yuck - since i wanted to get my facts straight i did a little research and found an antipsychotic used to treat Aspergers. WTF.
-
Yes, I have read some stuff about that as well, even giving them to little kids. :thumbdn:
-
i definitely don't want weight gain. :( it's right up there with dancing naked in a parking lot. :zombiefuck:
didn't know they can cause diabetes. that's horrible.
yeah they apparently give aps for all kinds of crap, just to shut kids up. i dunno why i can't get some valium but a 5 year old is forced to take antipsychotics and that's supposed to be somehow in sync with the laws of the universe. just fucked up.
i'm tired of this medical battle. doctors don't give a fuck as long as they're not sued. cowards can't give anyone anything that works.

Respieradal caused weight gain for me. My mom said people in the hospital looked like zombies, and I was one of them, when I was hospitalized.
I don't remember any of them working either. Even Dr. Gordon, a noted psychiatrist, says meds for depression rarely work, and lifestyle is effective for what he estimates 80-90% of the population, problem is no one does it. They have to be motivated, and taught tricks of the trade that I came up with. I also read about a few of them, alot of them.
-
lifestyle change is not an option, neither is weight gain. oh well. sounds like aps aren't an option. can't risk weight gain. why are pharms such shit.
though apparently antihistamines or sumthing can fix the weight gain problem. crazymeds had something on that.
-
Yeah, those fuckers put me on anti-psyches once. Turned me into one of those drooling zombies that stare out of the window for no good reason. Got off that shit as soon as I could.
Plus yeah, the fact that after enough use it can fuck with your brain/mind on a permanent basis, is a little of a turn off.
-
the thing is, i want to be a drooling zombie. kinda. the zombie i was on citalopram. i'm thinking about lexapro. if that would make me that kind of zombie... it's basically the same stuff.
-
Use that recipe I gave you on MSN, Milla Vanilla. ;) :autism:
-
I tried getting high on Thorazine once thinking it would be similar to Seconal or Quaalude. That stuff sucked. :zombiefuck:
-
lexapro isn't an antipsychotic though, its an SSRI. (and both citalopram and escitalopram caused me weight gain)
-

that was meth numbnuts :orly:
-

i know that's why i want to try it cuz ssris aren't that bad.
was the weight gain metabolic or that you ate more/didn't exercise?
citalopram actually made me eat less cuz i was so happy that i didn't need to mess around with food.
I tried getting high on Thorazine once thinking it would be similar to Seconal or Quaalude. That stuff sucked. :zombiefuck:
i don't expect it to be like a regular sedative but i wish it would be something like citalopram.
-
I suspect it was partly metabolic, as it made me very sluggish. my activity level/appetite was pretty much unchanged - I was slowly putting on weight anyway through inactivity and comfort eating due to depression, but the weight piled on each time I was on the meds. I ended up putting on seven stone over three and a half years, the overwhelming bulk of which was added during the two years I was taking citalopram or escitalopram. draw your own conclusions.
-
i'm usually sluggish, but i am fat cuz of my crappy diet and drinking too much. if i was on medication i would cut out most of the food and all booze.
-
Booze is brave! 8)
-
its fattning :eyebrow:
-
Hey-ho and a bottle of rum! :arrr: :pirate:
-
There are many different antidepressants. Lexapro stopped working for me recently, I think that was why I got depressed again. I was starting to metabolise it too quickly - if I forgot to take it in the morning, I would feel dizzy by the late afternoon and that isn't meant to happen. So I have switched to Cymbalta which is SNRI I think. I feel better already.
-
I was on Zyprexa for years for no good reason whatsofuckingever (the closest to a sane justification I can backreason is it acted as a sleep aid). Hella weight gain. The withdrawal was agonizing. I hate Eli Lilly with a passion.
-
lexapro is the newer version of citalopram, prolly stops working similarly. but it's a good vacation while it actually works.
-
A drooling zombie is like a drunk gal, need i say more? too easy as is as if i cant figure em out VISUAL IMAGERY, i dont get what is so tough, why is junkfood still selling? After a while its just as easy as eating junk but cheaper. You have no imagination or something? PRACTICE PRACTICE you controll your destiny. I believe you can do that.
-
Resperidone (Risperdal in the US) killed my sister, after a year of hell on them first. I was told she had become ill and then when I went to see her in the hospital it seemed obvious that she was ill because she was the opposite of herself and like a zombie. I didn't realise this was because of the medication.
I'm still not sure that she was ill, when she talked about stuff that was supposedly her illness, I understood her.
-
Antipsychotics is Devil's invention. Don't take them.

that sucks. :(
it seems they overprescribe.
there is even an emo kid on hollyoaks who's on risperdal. i think that sets a bad example.

Why? Really this is something you need to be very clear on before going to see someone to talk about this.

though apparently antihistamines or sumthing can fix the weight gain problem. crazymeds had something on that.
Because? You realise that's the first thing they are likely to ask you.
-
i need something because my brain is not functioning. i need to numb myself and get energy or somekind of mental focus so i can do things. i just lie on my bed catatonic most days and the only thing i accomplish is turning the TV on and off and getting some beer so i can be numb again.
and i can't change my life because my mind isn't working. and i don't see the point as i only want to watch TV and survive this shit life as numb as i can til i die. i'd die now but it's not an option either. and there's no point to anything but TV cuz it's the only thing i find remotely interesting and have the energy to do. i just don't care about anything and i don't have energy to do anything. i think the right meds could help but they all have side effects.

I am no expert, but to be honest, you sound pretty depressed to me. The first thing that the doctor is probably going to suggest myself is that you stay off the booze - especially if you want anti-psychotics. Though I take it they would prefer to give you a therapist or something first - unless you have tried that?
Have you tried leaving the house and finding something else to do? Or failing that something productive you can do via a computer, there is plenty of stuff you can do (e.g. continuing your education, formally or less formally). It might be a starting point.
-
it can't be depression. i'm perfectly happy as long as my circumstances are good and stable. there are problems but i do my best to practice lots of escapism. :P isn't depression an internal condition and unpleasant? i get depressed because of PMS but other times i'm not depressed. i'm just not interested in the world besides TV. it feels pointless. and i'm tired of life in general, cuz there's no energy and no... inner spark. i feel dead inside. something's definitely died.
anyway sobriety is not an option either. and i can't leave the house. :P paranoid and agoraphobic.

Dissociation?

:laugh:
i've considered that. but i haven't found much info on it online. to my surprise. mostly just read about stuff about abuse victims and extreme stuff. i'm not really sure what it's about really. could be though, i've thought about it a lot.
-

You call your current circumstances "good and stable"? Despite not being able to leave the house and essentially look after yourself.
there are problems but i do my best to practice lots of escapism. :P isn't depression an internal condition and unpleasant?
"Major depressive disorder (also known as clinical depression, major depression, unipolar depression, or unipolar disorder) is a mental disorder typically characterized by a pervasive low mood, low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities"
i get depressed because of PMS but other times i'm not depressed.
Not depressed or relatively less depressed?
i'm just not interested in the world besides TV.
Not even computer games or something more interactive?
it feels pointless. and i'm tired of life in general, cuz there's no energy and no... inner spark. i feel dead inside. something's definitely died.
Sounds like depression to me.
anyway sobriety is not an option either. and i can't leave the house. :P paranoid and agoraphobic.
So why is your mum enabling you then?
-
SovaNu can't "sova nu" without booze. :-\
-
Though I also mostly don't give a fuck about the NT infested piece-of-shit world outside my house or at least outside my village.
-
Funny enough, a lot of this bullshit can be pinned down to lack of exercise, which leaves me screwed.
-
yeah sure, it's lack of exercise. always the lazy fatasses have mental problems.
-
Milla's brave! :arrr:
-

No but exercise keeps depression at bay to an extent. Plus people who are not confident in their appearance are more likely to be depressed
-
i'm not depressed. i'm just lonely and hate myself. and depressed people can't be assed to exercise.
So why is your mum enabling you then?
she recognizes i need a certain amount of alcohol to calm down. :P but i'd rather have meds that help the same way but i don't have any except tryptophan and gaba and gaba makes my heart race. but she keeps me in check. i tend to stay within the recommended amounts.
if i live alone my drinking gets out of hand. and i'm too paranoid to open the door for anyone and start to imagine people breaking in. i guess i could try it again and go on disability if i move back to finland, which is a possibility now that mom wants to move there. but i really was doing badly there. living here with mom gives me some kind of a bubble away from my past problems. maybe that is enabling and maybe that is me being too dependent, but there are people who actually are dependent for a reason. i don't feel good about it. i just dunno what to do other than go on disability, which i admit maybe i should do. i'm just afraid of changes and living alone again and being dependent on the government. it's scary.
anyway after learning more about dissociation i realize it makes a lot of sense to me. apparently it can start with some trauma that you dissociate from and then it becomes an automatic response to everything. there was also stuff about identity alteration, i didn't know that was a condition. i mean a recognized one.
http://www.isst-d.org/education/faq-dissociation.htm
More frequently, subtler forms of identity alteration can be observed when a person uses different voice tones, range of language, or facial expressions. These may be associated with a change in the patient’s world view. For example, during a discussion about fear, a client may initially feel young, vulnerable, and frightened, followed by a sudden shift to feeling hostile and callous. The person may express confusion about their feelings and perceptions, or may have difficulty remembering what they have just said, even though they do not claim to be a different person or have a different name. The patient may be able to confirm the experience of identity alteration, but often the part of the self that presents for therapy is not aware of the existence of dissociated self-states. If identity alteration is suspected, it may be confirmed by observation of amnesia for behavior and distinct changes in affect, speech patterns, demeanor and body language, and relationship to the therapist.

You sound anything but happy to me tbh. As for depressed people not bothering to exercise, totally not true.

What exactly has the doctor precribed all this for, and what is self-medicating on alcohol actually doing for you?

There are plenty of options - in an ideal world what would like to do. Many occupations you can actually do be teleworking, and you can certainly study for a degree by distance learning..

Dissociation I assume is curable, correct me if I am wrong? Have you talked to a doctor about this?
-
not all dissociatives can be cured cuz the dissociation is there for a reason. you have to actually accept the past traumas as real and i can't. so there's no way to fix it.
self medicating keeps me from going crazy and suffering. if i don't have that i turn to other coping mechanisms.
my ideal job would be bed tester. :P
i'm interested in sleep disorders and stuff like that. and psychology. but can't see how to make money with such a degree and have no confidence in learning things.

As for depressed people not bothering to exercise, totally not true.
Have you ever had clinical depression, Hadron? Getting out of bed is an effort. Eating is an effort. Dressing is an effort. Being bothered to do pretty much ANYTHING is an effort, never mind going for a run. When you're at the bottom of the spiral, finding the energy, motivation and willpower to exercise is likely to be beyond most people. On the road to recovery, exercise can help enormously - I know it benefited me. But when the walls close in, going to the gym is pretty unlikely to be top of your list of priorities, don't you think?.

Have a read:
http://www.psych.lancs.ac.uk/ug/careers.html
Also bear in mind with a degree you can do combined honours taking up two or more subjects, and that you don't neccesarily have to have a career in either of them - degrees are now more focused on skills than facts learnt. Plus you can do a masters and convert to another subject.
Really the important thing here is to start somewhere. Have you looked at the Open University for example?

Yes - on more than one occasion. Also I have friends and family going through / having gone through it.

Probably not for most people - but some certainly do. It also depends on their set of circumstances.

A person on the road to recovery still has clinical depression - and therefore is a depressed person.

I suspect he's at a point in his own life where it's helping to not be enabled, to stop self-medicating, to get out of the house, and to accept the fact that he's depressed - and so he thinks it must apply to everyone. :P

:minusevil: I disagree with the term NT infested TheoK. Through out my time in the military, college and the work force there have been non Autist people who have provided help and advice when I needed it just because it was their nature to do so. Danny Thomas is about as neurotypical as they come and he founded St. Jude's Childrens Hospital without the benefit of autism.

i can't concentrate. i can't even read a book. i'm reading this dream book and i can barely do a page at a time even though it's really interesting. and that's something i picked for myself and read when i feel like it. i read bits and pieces. and it's a really short book. schools and deadlines don't work for me. i spent like 4 years in high school learning nothing until i dropped out. i'm not smart like you and driven as pure snow. :P or maybe i just can't do it alone. but i have no friends to do stuff with and without friends i don't really exist. and i can't get friends because they don't deserve a shit like me. i already feel bad about my online friends.

The fact is that we should not have to go to them for advice - or need nice NT's to help us out. Society should not be structured in such a way that we are dependent on NT's to teach us how to play by their rules.

Down with the NTs! :arrr:

The world is what it is and mentoring happens with non As people as well. You can choose to bang your head on the wall or deal with the way things are. If you choose to only learn from people on the spectrum that will limit your options to a significant extent.

Maybe you could go for an audio book or something - I find them easier when I can't concentrate on stuff.
i read bits and pieces. and it's a really short book. schools and deadlines don't work for me.
Deadlines never really work for me either - but I normally find some way of getting around them. Like requesting an extension.
i spent like 4 years in high school learning nothing until i dropped out. i'm not smart like you and driven as pure snow. :P
I tend to take easy courses and avoid working a lot. Tbh I havent even gone to the majority of my lectures this term.
or maybe i just can't do it alone.
The amount of help you can have access to at a university is amazing, if I had needed to I could have had a salarised employee as a minder for my whole time. Seriously. But as I like my independence and can do without I haven't got one. You can get pretty much all the help you need if you apply for it.
but i have no friends to do stuff with and without friends i don't really exist. and i can't get friends because they don't deserve a shit like me. i already feel bad about my online friends.
My depressed friend says this quite often. It really is a classic sign of depression. Seriously Milla, get your mum to take you to the doctor and tell them all this. Write down everything about how you feel, live your life and so on and get an appointment. There is nothing wrong with asking for help.

The fact is that we should not have to go to them for advice - or need nice NT's to help us out. Society should not be structured in such a way that we are dependent on NT's to teach us how to play by their rules.
The world is what it is and mentoring happens with non As people as well. You can choose to bang your head on the wall or deal with the way things are. If you choose to only learn from people on the spectrum that will limit your options to a significant extent.
I am a realist, obviously I don't choose to listen to people only on the spectrum. Do I like the reality? Of course not.

It's a bit more difficult to get it but money-wise it's pretty much the same, AFAIK. The Finnish health care in general is more efficient, however, so things don't take as long there.

I think that is how we arrived at the definition of neurotypical, after defining the majority, first. Unfortunately for the pursuit of the science involved, as I have mentioned recently, the vast margins surrounding the "mapped points" may approach infinity.
-
We still have no reason to go to NTs for advice or anything. They should pay us compensation, IMHO, for bullying and shit that we have suffered and then leave us alone.
-
Depends what kind of advice. NT's have been very useful in giving me advice on how to manipulate other NT's.
-
I suspect he's at a point in his own life where it's helping to not be enabled, to stop self-medicating, to get out of the house, and to accept the fact that he's depressed - and so he thinks it must apply to everyone. :P
Not quite. Keep guessing though.
The reality's even uglier? :ner:
-
I'm pretty good at manipulating NTs myself by now.
They call us predictable; if you once have learned the narrow-minded NT thinking, you can manipulate most of them easily. Their "social" lies, for instance, make them very easily manipulated. The fact that one "should" act in a certain way in a certain situation makes it easy to get them to act that way.

The fact is that we should not have to go to them for advice - or need nice NT's to help us out. Society should not be structured in such a way that we are dependent on NT's to teach us how to play by their rules.
Reality check: the majority of people are neurotypical. Don't blame them for your shortcomings.
I certainly can blame them for how they have defined their social structure and society - and then force it upon us.
You can, but it will make you look silly.
Not at all - especially when we reform their society.
Let's see... Is it likely that 0.5% of the population is allowed to reorganise the society now defined by the other 95.5%?
You will look extremely silly.
Your maths is shockingly bad - percentages add up to 100
As for the 0.5%, think bigger and also think that if we were half wise, we wouldn't explicitly tell them our full aims. We would instead dress them up.

My ideal world would be an intellectual meritocracy in short. How we get there would depend on the political situation - but there are options. Personally I feel waiting to see how Obama is going to pan out before we make any moves.

Political or otherwise. These could include hijacking top political positions for our own ends, campaigns targeted against certain organisations or institutions. However before we think about strategy we would need an organisation of some kind. Fortunately there are few out there that might be subvertable. What is key is to avoid any association with Autism for as long as possible.

There's no chance that you'd be able to hijack any political position of any importance whatsoever. Read the DSM and see why.

You should probably take a closer look at modern politics, there are some blatently autistic people either in the positions or more often as the power behind such a throne. Bear in mind I would not need to hold the position to subvert it - there are other ways of influencing people.

The one rumoured to actually have a dx, Al Gore, is your exact opposite.

I have no idea about Al Gore - not looked closely enough. Though there are some British politicians who are almost certainly on the spectrum, I would begin by naming Boris and Gordon. The key difference here btw - is that these people don't know that they are on the spectrum. The next generation might.

Gordon - I read his lifestory (a really good book by Tom Bower) which pretty much describes him having all the character traits. Boris - just watch him closely.

can you summarize his lifestory for us ADDs? :P

doesn't wash - if you're intent on taking over society, why aren't you working towards changing that society by doing things differently. you'll just end up as the same old, same old, otherwise - you keep banging on about politics, have another look at political history and see how that very thing happens, even with those with the noblest of intentions.

He's mostly gotten a bye, because his resources are limited and he is barely of age. You are pressing a wrinkle that will remain after pressing, despite the vinegar we throw on it.

Either tell us or don't. Your credibility won't suffer much because you don't have any.

He isn't even in the highest position he ever was in at the moment.
But according to you, an Aspie could never get such a position.
-
Your dibilating, everyone copying someone disrupts the mental health of everyone. People on the spectrum already have enough trouble with that when they have not learned not to. Everyone needs stimulation and breaks. Attempting to immitate what you think is bisexual is folly to, I am not, nor will I ever will. I would COMMIT SUICIDE before I do anything with a man, and I could come up with ways to getting around issues I have with suicide.

Where did I say that? I said *Hadron* couldn't hijack any position of power.
You do need to do something about your poor reading comprehension. Do you suppose antipsychotics would help?

Thats quite funny you say "naive", this week a friend of mine was complaining about my lack of optimism - rather than naivety. As for responsibility, I never said I wanted to fill a position myself. Much more fun letting others take the rap...

Bush wiill probably go down as the most influential person in a long period of history - my strategy isn't a bad one.

I'm referring to what's been all too apparent here, Hadron. It is conceivable that you come off as less naive in real life, but the odds are against you.

I'm referring to what's been all too apparent here, Hadron. It is conceivable that you come off as less naive in real life, but the odds are against you.
Thankfully I am not the only person who is on my wavelength, and even if I directly do nothing myself - chances are one of use will sort it.
Because while he does have a brain, he rarely seems to use it these days?
Bush wiill probably go down as the most influential person in a long period of history - my strategy isn't a bad one.
This is how you choose your role models? :o
No - but the acting dim strategy really works. In a way, although Bush has done a lot of evil things, 20-25 years on everyone will see how much of an effect he really has had.
I'll give him the benefit of a doubt but I'm fairly sure the future will prove me right.
Wait and see...
I hope I'm wrong.
Hope or lack of hope rarely have too much of an impact..

I have no idea about Al Gore - not looked closely enough. Though there are some British politicians who are almost certainly on the spectrum, I would begin by naming Boris and Gordon. The key difference here btw - is that these people don't know that they are on the spectrum. The next generation might.
why do you think boris and gordon are on the specturm?
Oh, I forgot. My shrink told me about one living person who is an Aspie. He's a minister in the current government.
And if a psychiatrist said it, it HAS to be right.
If he has seen his journals and the diagnosis isn't wrong: yes.
So what is your opinion on psychiatry and the diagnostic system and its implimentation and origins as it relates to NTs, again, mr. Evil-NT-Consipracy-theorist? Do you think it's for aspies, by aspies, and the only reason AS is listed as a 'disorder' is because they don't want the people in power to realize it's a way for people on the spectrum to recognize one another, like a secret fucking handshake or something?

It doesn't work for you. You both come off as dim, but in your case you're still a spazz while Bush was President of the United States for eight years.

I want to come off as dim - you miss the point here. I have always played my hand in such a manner that people never notice until I have hit them, and very often they dont blame me.

Have you ever actually hit anybody on here?

You like to paint that image of yourself, I know, but so far the part you've had any luck with is that first part.

I have taken Seroquel, it made me feel weird and sleepy. I took Risperdal in hospital and I twitched so badly that the doctors stopped giving it to me. I was also put on haloperidol when I first went in because I was a bit psychotic or something and that stuff knocked me out and I liked it because of that but it would not be good to take regularly I think because it is so strong.
Every time I go to the doctor they suggest I take antipsychotics but I won't. I want to stay away from them.
I didn't know what I was talking about, really.
Now I am on a lowish dose of haloperidol. And when I took Seroquel XR I gained 30 kgs. Never ever take that again.
