I have a pretty big and troublesome issue, to be precise someone (I dont know who ) talked about my cognitive problems and anxiety to the generale physician, who in turn request a mandatory visit by a psichystrast.
The psychistrast is very ignorant and arrogant about the subject (He claims that is not possibile to be comcussed without losing consciousness or with out brain bleeding so my symptoms must be psychosomatic and alla in my Head ) and Now I am forced against my will to take antipsychotics drugs.( I live n italy by the way)
I was very happy because I had recovered in the Last few days, but now I have the terror to compromise my brain due to the drugs and the stress for the situation.
It is possibile for that kind if drugs to worsen my cognitive problem? What you suggest me to do about this situation?

Antipsychotics could most certainly make the damage worse. They are known to kill neurons by interfering with the mitochondria in the cell. Weakened neurons which are not dead could very well be killed by these neurotoxins. Antipsychotics themselves cause permanent brain damage with prolonged use. Avoid this at all costs, especially if you don't want to do it.

Just out of curiosity, how are you forced to take these drugs? If your doctor is incompetent you need to find a new one.

Just to know, that kind of neuron damage will be visible on imaging exams such as an MRI?

There is no imaging that will show microscopic neuronal damage. They usually make these claims based on testing mouse or rat brains and putting the animal on huge doses then dissecting the brain and sticking it under a microscope.

My dr at rush university brought up doing low dose of anti-psychotic meds. After 6 years, I have tried most drugs and he’s had success with some patients with this. He’s very knowleadgeable about Tbi’s. But for **** sake, don’t be forced to take any drugs you don’t want to.

Antipsychotics did a lot of damage to my brain.
After taking them I started to experience very severe cognitive problems, much worse than before, I'm basically unable to do any thinking and I cannot string a coerhent sentence together while trying to speak.
I also started to have total anedhonia, basically I cannot feel pleasure in any way, not even with sexual activities.

The psychiatrist tell me that is impossibile to suffer a concussion without losing consciousness so my cognitive struggles (both the actual ones and the ones before taking antipsychotics but after the car crash) must be imaginary.

At the same time, I have found a neurologist who is not knowledgeable about antipsychotics but believes that my cognitive impairmente may be due the car crash and he ordered an MRI with tensor diffusion, I will do it in a couple of weeks.
It is reliable to see if I suffered a concussion in the car crash?
Or it is possible that damage will not show up on it?

Hey Danielson, as a psychologist i am wondering which antypsychotic they gave you and why. There are several classes of antipsychotics so they have different effects. Did they give it to you for anxiety or did the doc think you were imagening the situation? Or was it for anotger specific symptom?

Idk about the laws in italy. Here a patient can only be forced when there are serious indications that he will hurt himself or others. And even then the request should be taken to a judge and assesed by a team of psychiatrists and psychologist so idk how they would force you so fast.

The antipsycothic is called abilify, how dangereous it is? How long can it take to do brain damage?
The reason is that they think that I am imagining this, and I suppose that I could hurt someone due to anxiety and outbursts.
I also find the thing absurd and didi not know it was possibile, could you please try to inform a bit about italian law in this regard?
I can't due to cognitive struggles.

Abilify is not one of the scarier anti-psychotics. Nobody can say how you will respond to it.

My doctor put me on Zyprexa for a short term to get past a high level of symptoms. No big deal.

-Which are the scariest ones?

-what kind of symptoms? Emotional/anxiety ones? Was it useful and didi it have side effects?
