@taperclinic: A 2005 study found that antipsychotic meds caused an 8-11% reduction in brain volume in monkeys, especially in areas critical for decision-making. What does this mean for long-term use in humans? #MentalHealth #Antipsychotics #BrainHealth #Psychiatry
wish I was given informed consent by my dr . I now suffer from chronic akathisia from an antipsychotics. it's been 5 long years and still no window 😢

But which areas of the brain? Because if it’s shrinking my amygdala I think I’ll be okay

What’s the alternative to antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia then

The problem with a study like that is that the control group had no pathology. What is the effect of untreated disease?

Would Quetiapine pose this risk?

Is the shrinkage reversible when you stop taking them?

Wait were the antipsychotics given once or how often over what time period? That’s very relevant

is the brain shrinkage permanent? I definitely struggle with decision making and was on antipsychotics for a few years for anxiety and sleep

Bird Smear :
This is alarming, considering I've been taking 2mg respiradone for 3+ years. on top of that I take 150mg of amitryptaline, which I have tried getting off of unsuccessfully.

I've had GPs offer me antipsychotics for chronic pain-induced insomnia. they won't treat my pain, but I can have dangerous psych meds to try to sedate myself thru pain. the medical system scares me.

jeah, but overall brain size doesn't directly correlate to cognitive function...

Kittyellison67 :
Insomnia for grief. My retired psyche warned never to take antipsyches b/c I’d reacted badly. Told new psyches. They laughed at me, insisted I take Olanzapine.Next: ER with akathisia. Still a battle.

is the effect dose dependant? like will the perhaps inappropriately prescribed low dose quetiapine for insomnia cause similar changes?
