Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 "A-typical" antipsychotics attempt to block only the D2 receptors in the meso limbic pathway. "Typical" antipsychotics block the meso limbic pathway as well as three other D2 receptor pathways. This results in far more unwanted side effects than seen when using "typical" antipsychotics. Of course, no antipsychotic is perfect and there are negative side effects involved with all of them. bet this is why orginally when they gave me the risperidone it had very little side effects cause it was' A typical anti psychotics but they then changed it to a typical antipsychotic which explains what happened to me as they block far more receptor pathways in the brain causing terrible side effects of which im sure the so called doctors know this but they still gave it to me If only I had not told them the Risperidone had caused my periods to stop this would never have happened as they wouldnt have changd my drug. There are many things I Regret but what I most regret is the events that lead to me being destroyed with so called anti pychotic drugs. 1 I regret ever leaving my flat in a panic and going to my parents house for support when in stead they phoned the police on me. Should have stayed in bed the panic would have subsided eventually. 2 regret telling the pychiatrist my thoughts and feelings which lead to him to diagnose me with scitzophrenria should NEVER have told him anything, didnt realise that he could not be trusted, how naive of me.  3 regret not taking the oral medication to begin with because I would not have been injected then and would have been let out of the hospital much sooner. but the nurse told me i didnt have to take them, wish I had not listened to her. 4 regret telling the doctor I did not want to take olanzapine because it made me fat when taken before, which lead to him giving me the risiperidone instead which lead to me being given the depixol, sure the olanzapine would not have harmed me, as Iv taken it before. well thats it, cant help but think I have brain damage for life or damaged nerves in my body or both proberly, what chance is there of ever recovering from this, sorry dont want to depress others, remember I taken a different drug to most people on here as it was not a ssri.
