has anyone ever taken any kind of antipsychotic drugs?

[never_again]

long story but my parents made me take them when i was 12 & 13

i am now 16

basically i believe it may have stunted my pubertal growth somehow, but people never seem to believe me cus im 6'2

however i believe that the inner workings of my body is all messed up -- i.e. lungs and liver failed to grow, stomach didnt expand as a part of puberty therefore i cannot eat as much as i want to

brain doesnt expand therefore im stupid -- yea hahaha but im serious

any other kind of pubertal growth you can wrap ur head around

the other thing i was concerned about is whehter or not the medicine has interfered with my cognition, motor, and memorization skills

i remember almost nothing from physics that i took only 1 year ago, and i forget where i put paper all the time

this is not a joke topic this is serious and i am really concerned

if anyone else has any kind of experiences related to antipsychotic/antidepressants, then please let me know

more specifically, I took abilify and welbutrin for god knows how long
im guessing i took welbutrin for like 4 weeks and abilify sporadically for like 3 months maybe

its not like i made a conscious effort to remind myself to take the pill but my dad sure did, then something happened so i didnt take them anymore
anyways who knows

discuss away

How would you know the size of your lungs, liver, and stomach?

Your relatively small (in your terms) appetite is FAR, FAR LESS likely to be caused by anti psychotic drugs shrinking your organs than any number of things.

...What?

Well, you obviously have the motor skills to type. Do you actually have any specific motor problems? Do you know what the words you are saying mean?

People forget stuff all the time. Losing stuff and forgetting a class you didn't care about are all but very common.

None of those drugs have the side effect of making your organs not grow. That's just ridiculous. Where did you get that idea?

If you have questions, see a doctor for medical issues. But I'm starting to see why they made you take pills...

 

[Ghost [old]]

lol at chris.

Doctors aren't generally idiots when it comes to prescribing medicine, especially to children.

I personally think that your paranoia has convinced yourself that your shortcomings are side effects of medicine you took.You don't base it off any facts though; your just saying,"Since I took medicine it must have screwed me up SOME way...".

It's just something you need to move past.

 

[akuchi]

You're almost certainly going to die. If not within the next few weeks, then definitely the last few months. There's nothing medicine can do for you now, you've developed a rare and very severe reaction to being given antipsychotic drugs at a young age. Go to the police and report that your parents have, in effect, killed you. You don't know how much time you have left.

 

[McGrrr]

1) Western commercial drugs are exhaustively clinically tested.

2) Yes there are possible side effects.

3) Consult your doctor if you think these are relevant to you.

I personally think that your paranoia has convinced yourself that your shortcomings are side effects of medicine you took.

^This.

 

[Thorns]

maybe they fucked you up so badly you are unable to learn basic biology and deluded you into thinking your organs were smaller

 

[Trax]

I have never taken any of these drugs, however I still can't remember what I did yesterday.

 

[akuchi]

I'm not joking. I asked one of my friends who is a doctor. GO TO THE POLICE.

It's a side-effect of malignant neurolepsy syndrome, he's already had serious organ damage. His kidneys will be beyond repair and I suspect his gall bladder too.

why did they make me take the pills?
um by motor skills, like i cant consistently catch a football
my hand is like only 8.5(middle finger-wrist) by 10(string wrapped around palm) inches, smaller than most other people ive asked around my height

Yea its true that people forget things all the time but maybe these medicines have exacerbated the situation?

Like um, when i forget where i put something, my brain generates some images of me placing the lost item somewhere -- then i go there and its not there

Maybe pre-medicine i was a genius and nowadays i dropped back down to normal levels

I mean in 6th grade I used to care about information like dinosaurs and astronomy and w/e; now i dont give a shit about anything

-Something I do care about(not very much so, but i care about it more than physics) is my SAT Vocab that i was searing into my brain last september. I have since forgotten a great number of them

Also, I didnt believe that I needed the medicine so the only things that couldve came from that experience are the bad side effects



@ akuchi

no im not gonna go to the police
and if i do, itll be for a different reason...

 

[akuchi]

You need to see a doctor now. I don't think there is anything you can do to repair the damage done - and like I said it will likely have fatal consequences as your kidneys will not be able to process - but you need to get something done. Fast. It'll only get worse as time goes on.

You don't need large hands to catch a football. It just means your hand eye coordination sucks, which is relatively common. Some people just can't catch a ball.

And you seem hell-bent on the fact that medicine is fucking you up. I mean, christ, how the hell would you know that your organs are smaller than they should be?

Maybe pre-medicine i was a genius and nowadays i dropped back down to normal levels

Yes, absolutely. You were a such a genius that your parents decided to conspire against you and give you pills to make you dumber. Do you realize how stupid you sound?

I mean in 6th grade I used to care about information like dinosaurs and astronomy and w/e; now i dont give a shit about anything

Again, you are so quick to blame the medicine for all your problems. Don't give a shit? That's too bad. It's called motivation, and you don't seem to have it.

-Something I do care about(not very much so, but i care about it more than physics) is my SAT Vocab that i was searing into my brain last september. I have since forgotten a great number of them

Join the club. Nobody has a perfect memory. What you don't practice you will forget, especially things like vocab.

Also, I didnt believe that I needed the medicine so the only things that couldve came from that experience are the bad side effects

Does an insane man know he's insane?

Take some responsibility for your own life and don't be so quick to bitch about the pills. There might even be a reason that you're on them and you don't even realize it.

 

[moot]

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life threatening, although rare neurological disorder most often caused by an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs. It generally presents with muscle rigidity,

um by motor skills, like i cant consistently catch a football

and cognitive changes such as delirium, and is associated with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK).[2]

Like um, when i forget where i put something, my brain generates some images of me placing the lost item somewhere -- then i go there and its not there

Delirium is an acute and debilitating decline in attention-focus, perception, and cognition that produces an altered form of semi-consciousness.

The only symptom missing is fever, which could have been easily be repressed by any of the cocktail of drugs you might already be on.

GO TO THE POLICE, THEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
YOU ARE ON A DEATH WATCH.

 

[tape]

ITT: extreme hypochondria

firebot fuel?

 

[moot]

If this was hypochondriasis, he would have been to the doctor long before this.

what do you mean take responsibility, i didnt choose to go on the medicine by myself

my parents forced me

and if theres the slightest possibility that the medicine are to blame, what else do i need?

besides the medicine, Im just like every other kid around town


as for the malignant neuroleptic syndrome shit, are you fools just fuckin with me or is it for real?

 

[never_again]

If this was hypochondriasis, he would have been to the doctor long before this.

I have been to my general physician
i told him about my concerns and he immediately said theres nothing to worry about, without even conducting any tests!

he took one look at me and dismissed me, no chemical blood tests, nothing

 

[akuchi]

then go and see a different one - you do get bad health professionals from time to time. This is your fucking life, you can't fuck this up.

 

[Obsessed]

I managed to diagnose you after skimming through your past posts.

Here is your problem: You love being a victim. You love getting sympathy.

Solution: Therapy. Preferably with your parents.


If you want a cheaper solution then try joining an acting class. Maybe if you play the victim in a show, you won't feel the need to do so in real life.

no can do brosky, i can only see people in my network cus im under a HMO
aka only one general physician

and hes the one who has to refer me to all the specialists

Irritating though his past posts may be, this is a serious criminal offence and he needs to go through this via the proper channels

 

[Lee]

I'm not a medical man by any means but anybody could see that your symptoms and history match up very well with this fatal Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (and no, we're not fucking with you - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroleptic_malignant_syndrome).

Go see a doctor and get back to us. If he still doesn't think there's anything wrong tell him what you've told us. Then at least if he still fucks up the diagnosis your family can sue him when/if you die.

I'm not even sure what to do about this thread as it's really... odd. But if you want to get back to us, please do it on your other account (Kisk).

You really shouldn't ask smogon people to improvise themselves doctors.
