I once took risperidone in addition to escitalopram, and it made me feel really bad. But the hospital staff told me to take it anyway. But neuroleptics aren't that harmless; they seem to have a profound effect on the brain. I remember having panic attacks out of nowhere when I was just lying in bed or something. I eventually stopped taking them. But could they have damaged my brain in some way?

Loading...anyone have experience? I once heard of a sleep mask with light
Hello I am Lena, I've been thinking about getting an assistance dog because I suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, seizures, etc. and I'm scared of being alone or going shopping. Then I had this idea about getting a dog and I don't know exactly how I'm going to get one. I'm 17 and I…
Does anyone here take beta-blockers and have experience with side effects? How long did it take you to notice differences? Have they made your life worse or better?
Hello everyone, I haven't been able to fall asleep at night for some time now. Then I get up. I take quetiapine 200mg film-coated tablets and 25mg levomepromazine before bedtime. I get tired around 9:00 a.m. Then I fall asleep quite quickly and very deeply. You can even vacuum next to my bed. I also…
Hello, I had a very confusing dream last night that also gave me a bit of a creepy feeling. I'll describe the dream in as much detail as possible, so if you're not comfortable with the subject of murder and blood, don't read any further. I can hardly remember the beginning but I do remember…
Hi, I have a question: can you call the police/112 if you have strong suicidal thoughts?
There is the causality principle No cause, no effect.
Drugs have an effect and side effects. For these effects, a drug is the cause. If you have completely removed the drug, the body metabolizes the molecules of the drug and the (need) effects are no longer caused.
In general, drug effects are reversible.
The body does not have to be out of the body to lose its effect. It is enough for it to be metabolized. Then he loses the effect. From “no cause, no effect” and from the fact that there are no temporal causalities, it follows that there are generally no long-term consequences.
However, what I have discovered is that escitalopram and crackperidone partially inhibit their metabolism. This can lead to a lasting effect (from in your case Risperidone).
These are two entries in a drug database (can be looking for enzymes):

https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB00734
Then it is so that escitalopram inhibits the metabolism of the previously taken crackperidone.
Meaning? Sorry, but I didn’t really get it. So it can no longer have any effect if the active ingredient is from the body or can it have long-term consequences?
Worked.
