Health Chevron. Mental Health Chevron. Much like the symptoms and health conditions they are used to treat, antipsychotic drugs are complicated. Here are nine things you should know about this powerful class of medication. Other symptoms include incoherent speech, inappropriate behavior, and overall difficulty functioning.
Psychosis itself is not a condition but a set of symptoms that can occur in many different scenarios , Dolores Malaspina , M. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that distorts the way people think, feel, and behave, according to the NIMH.
Persistent psychosis is one of the main symptoms of this condition; someone must experience psychotic symptoms for at least six months before receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis, per the NIMH. Antipsychotics are the frontline pharmacological treatment for schizophrenia, according to the Mayo Clinic.
They are typically used as a maintenance drug, meaning they are taken daily, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA , although there are long-acting injections available that can be taken once or twice a month. Bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic fluctuations in mood and energy levels. It is during these periods, called mood episodes, that psychosis can occur, according to the NIMH. Unlike schizophrenia, not everyone who has bipolar disorder will experience psychosis—but if someone has a severe enough depressive or manic episode, psychosis may develop.
Sometimes people with bipolar disorder take antipsychotics indefinitely, but more often they are used to treat symptoms on an as-needed basis, Dr. Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication that affects chemicals in the brain.
Olanzapine is used to treat the symptoms of psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder manic depression in adults and children who are at least 13 years old. Taking antipsychotic medication is sometimes a source of agony. Some people get worse side effects than others. Antipsychotic medication can also kill you. This may explain why olanzapine has a relatively large sedative effect even though it is a high-potency medication.
Two brain chemicals may interact to contribute to the development of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, according to a new study. The results suggest abnormal levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate may lead to changes in the levels of another neurotransmitter, dopamine, causing the transition into psychosis.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that usually appears in late adolescence or early adulthood. Characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and other cognitive difficulties, schizophrenia can often be a lifelong struggle.
You might feel a sense of restlessness. Antipsychotics may cause a side effect known as akathisia, which is a sense of motor restlessness that sometimes feels a lot like symptoms of anxiety. For patients with known psychotic illness, expert opinion recommends oral risperidone or olanzapine. Antipsychotic medications can help to calm and clear confusion in a person with acute psychosis within hours or days, but they can take up to four or six weeks to reach their full effect.
These medications can help to control symptoms, but they do not cure the underlying condition. Do not stop taking olanzapine or change your dose without talking with your healthcare provider first. For olanzapine to work properly, it should be taken every day as ordered by your healthcare provider. If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications.
People living with schizophrenia who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. This is a complex decision since untreated schizophrenia has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers.
Symptoms in the newborn may include agitation, feeding disorder, hypertonia, hypotonia, respiratory distress, somnolence, and tremor; these effects may be self-limiting or require hospitalization.
Caution is advised with breastfeeding since olanzapine does pass into breast milk. It is recommended that women receiving olanzapine should not breast-feed. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The oral dose usually ranges from 5 mg to 20 mg.
The dose of the injection usually ranges from mg to mg. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. Olanzapine orally disintegrating tablets must remain in their original packaging.
Open the package with clean dry hands before each dose. Do not try to put tablets in a pillbox if you take the orally disintegrating tablets. Olanzapine orally disintegrating tablets will dissolve in your mouth within seconds and can be swallowed with or without liquid. Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication.
You may also ask a family member or a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. The long-acting injection form of olanzapine is administered every 2 to 4 weeks. It should be administered by your health care professional through an injection into your buttocks area. A health care professional will keep you in a setting where you can be observed for at least 3 hours after each injection. If you miss a dose of olanzapine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose.
Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed. If you miss a dose of olanzapine long-acting injection, see your healthcare provider to receive your dose as soon as possible. Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking olanzapine.
