You need to check out and see if one of the neuroleptics is actually doing damage to your brain rather than helping it. You should check out a book by Dr Peter Breggin. The name of the book is Your Drug May Be Your Problem. Alot of these psychiatric medications can cause you to have more problems than before you went on this medication. My daughter was on prozac for a short while and it totally screwed her up. She was spun on this stuff. Before Prozac she was on Respirdal which is an anti-psychotic that caused her to have permanent brain damage. If you have had a long term use of a Neuroleptic or other drugs like this then you too could have permanent brain damage. My daughter is only 5 years old and she is suffering from a movement disorder called Tardive Dyskinesia. It is caused from long term use of a neuroleptic. Do some research and go see the doctor. If the doctor refuses to tell you the truth about these medications then you may need to find a doctor that does. You can also check out Dr. Breggins own website at www.breggin.com He has testified as an expert witness for the plaintiff(s) damaged from the use of neuroleptics and has not lost a case that he has testified in. Hope this will offer you some hope and help. Tammy. Don't stop your meds. See and consult with your doctor before making any tough decisions like these.
