Have you ever taken anti-psychotic medications?

It sounds Like you are at the begining of a long Journey.\n\n\nTo stop a high, you have to go through a medically induced LOW.  That's what the medication does, it brings you down off your high (MANIC/psychotic).  Its not fun, But this is how Bipolar disordser goes....\n\nYour symptoms are normal, weight gain and NO PSYCHOTIC EPISODE.\n\nAfter an episode it takes me 2 to 3 years to get back to normal.\n\n\nMY advice is to go with the flow, Don't get obssessed with the low, or dead feeling inside, its temporary.  If you can;\n\n\ngo for a walk\nexercise\nkeep pyshically active\n\nIt will take time to get back to normal!  Try to find a community group in your area and find others like yourself.\n\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Are you on medication?  If not, you may want to check into it.

Heck yes.  You do know that Risperdal is an antipsychotic medication, right?  Both a diabetic crisis and stress have the potential for this as well.  Given the circumstances, you need to get this person to a doctor.

Some do, some don't. I took all kinds of meds. It wasn't until I learned how to think properly that I started to get better. See my "Antidepressant That Works" webpage for my story: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/AntidepressantThatWorks.html

Is it possible that you are bi-polar?\n\nI was on and off antidepressants many time over the years.  They never really seemed to work for me, though eventually my depressions lifted.  \n\nDuring my most recent (and most severe) depression, after two years of trying various antidepressants I went into a phase where my mind started working faster and faster.  I eventually realized what was going on and told my doctor that I suspected That I might be manic-depressive and that we were treating the wrong illness.

Some people do not respond to the atypical antipsychotics and they have to go back to the older meds, like Haldol and Prolixin.  The symptoms you described happened a lot 25 years ago, but not so much with the new meds.  Did you doc try something else before or just start you on Prolixin?  If he started you on Prolixin, find a psychiatrist who is more knowledgeable in the newer medications.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who takes Abilify. I take 10 mg.  To answer your question, call your pharmacist and he could give you the side affects of taking both medications.  Also, your doctor could look it up on the computer.

Yes, apparently, all atypical antipsychotics can increase your risk for developing Type II Diabetes.  This is what Medline states:\n"you should know that you may have increases in your blood sugar (hyperglycemia) while you are taking this medication, even if you do not already have diabetes. If you have schizophrenia, you are more likely to develop diabetes than people who do not have schizophrenia, and taking aripiprazole or similar medications may increase this risk. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms while you are taking aripiprazole: extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, blurred vision, or weakness. It is very important to call your doctor as soon as you have any of these symptoms, because high blood sugar can cause more serious symptoms, such as dry mouth, upset stomach and vomiting, shortness of breath, breath that smells fruity, or decreased consciousness, and may become life-threatening if it is not treated at an early stage."\n\nIf this is a concern, please consult your physician and/or a nutritionist.

You must be kidding. There are so many meds, on label and off label, given as psychotropic medications.

i was on wellbutrin for a good 2-4 years & i started to get REALLY tired & completely lacked all motivation. i had memory problems & was really unable to function intelligently. finally, i changed medicines a few times & now i am on effexor xr. i also discovered i had anxiety, which was something doctors had never really paid any attention to in the past.\n\nwhatever you do, DO NOT STOP TAKING THE MEDICINE ON YOUR OWN!!!! really really really bad stuff can happen!!! i made that mistake & i started feeling all sorts of really bizarre things & couldn't sleep... i have also heard you can have weird visions. so, don't do it on your own!!!

Promazine is a typical, or older antipsychotic used to help with psychosis, or hallucinations and delusions. I have not taken it before, but I work in mental health and I would like to think that you were tried on a few of the newer antipsychotics before resorting to this choice, because of the side effects profile, being more severe with the older antipsychotics. The newer options include abilify, geodon, risperdal, seroquel. Good luck.
