HALOPERIDOL vs OLANZAPINE

hello fellow health professional! I'm currently a dental resident working on a case study for a pharmacology class and i can't find any answer online; some website say it's OK with caution/monitoring, some say it's a big no. My patient takes haloperodol by injection 1x/month for bipolar disord

I was checking out this article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4101890/ Which deems them equally effective except in the case of contraindications. Paliperidone isnt first line therapy and can be considered second line along with first generation antipsychotics. Also, Invega sustenna i

On "up to date" In the dosing of Haloperidol for Delirium in the intensive care unit. It says "may repeat bolus dose (with sequential doubling of initial bolus dose)"  is this sequence arithmetic or geometric. Do I go from 2.5 -->5-->7.5 or 2.5-->5-->10. Please clarify.

So I have a 1985 and 2006 edition, I need a current quote on the topic of drug interaction between Haloperidol and Lithium. I am planning on writing a paper and want to avoid the extra expenses of buying a new text for a couple of lines. Many journal articles discount it, but a couple validate it, b

Risperidone made me lactate... yep Latuda made me throw up every single time I took it Olanzapine made me feel like I was drunk Seroquel made me gain 40kg and Lamotrigine gave me the rash

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week.

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?

So they admitted me to the psych ward a few days ago after my last post. The first night i couldn't keep my blankie and blew up and punched the shit out of my face so i have two big black eyes and my whole right hand is greeny purple. When the psychiatrist saw me the next morning (sobbing and hyster

i have a ton of questions that i would love to unload on people. but just for now i would like to know one thing... i have meds now "olanzapine" through my psychiatrist. what is something you wish you knew before taking your meds that you know now? also im not worried about the meds, i'm just being

I’m 30. I have struggled with this my whole life , unbeknownst to me. I went to multiple doctors and counselors, especially after I had my kids and was crying to them telling them there is something wrong with me please figure it out. They did labs and all kinds of testing. They told me it was in m

Anyone else have bipolar and told you have to take meds for life? I am worried about the long term effects of the meds but I am also worried about how I would do if I went off them. I am currently doing great. My meds are zyprexa/olanzapine and lithium.

And holy shit do I stink now. Not my whole body, mostly the armpits and it's like the really sharp and nasty sweat smell that usually comes from men who don't know what a deodorant is. This is what I wake up to every morning, F31 (Oh hey, that's the code for BP, never noticed this). Tbf I sweat exc
