Psychiatric drugs, Antipsychotics that I take .. incl Olanzapine

I talk about some of the psychiatric drugs I have taken, and some that I still do take.

Risperedone is known to cause breasts and lactating in young me and women. I stopped taking it when I found out about that from a news commercial. Risperedone is like the older class Atypical Antipsychotics that elevate 'prolactin' in your blood stream.

Prolactin is a hormone found in pregnant women.

The least serious offender for prolactin of the new Atypical antipsychotics is Quetiapine also known as Seroquel which is made from dead squirrel liver and peanuts, jk...

Olanzapine is alot less severe than Risperedone for causing prolactin but still more than Quetiapine/Seroquel. Olanzapine has shown to improve cognition due to increasing 'dendredites' in the brain.

Zopiclone is a sleep aid that some people claim makes them feel high or drunk before it puts them into a very deep sleep, anyone with insomnia could get a script for Zopiclone.

Teva-Quetiapine is usually given to schizophrenics or off label use for insomnia. Whereas Seroquel XR would be more appropriate for someone who is bipolar. Seroquel XR is not a tablet but a capsule that contains little beads of the drug and cannot be split in a pill splitter.
