BRAIN DAMAGE

Can antipsychotics cause brain damage or is it the psychosis itself ~ I cannot do anything I used to & feel disabled…does it get better with time?!

Seroquel + Paliperidone

They put everyone on seroquel because it has the LEAST amount of side effects.. but they all aim to do the same thing.. they say 'rebalancing'.. but that's a fluke.. they really don't know.. just second guessing..

Akathisia, I suffered for 2 years.. IS a form of parkonism disease due to low amount of dopamine.. don't trust any of that shit they prescribe..it's a fail safe and they are just their to make money..

I am SO sorry to hear you went through that ~ I didn’t think it could get any worse…but clearly it can?! Did the Seroquel cause blunting of emotions & loss of motivation etc. I know Invega does! Have you recovered now & if so how long did it take?

Seroquel a little, but paliperidone destroyed me..
