Hello all. I have a question that someone may be able to either answer themselves or point me in the right direction to find an answer.
A couple of years ago I was on Mellaril for a while. I can't remember for how long and that is part of the problem. I had just had, for want of a better description, a pyschotic episode and was quite loopy to be perfectly honest...but I am dancing around the actual question.
My question is this-does anyone know of any effects I may still be suffering, because I am not sure exactly what I feel now is as a result of what I took, or just "how I am" if you know what I mean.
I just read something that said that Mellaril blocks seratonin from going back to the neuron that "emitted" it and thus the receiving neuron gets more "signal".
BUT, I also recently heard that a lot of brain activity involves a lot of backwards and forwards information travelling.I know at the time, I was frantically trying to make sense of some stuff and then they put me on this drug that stopped me from being able to work it out...or maybe they saved me from myself, I don't know.
Anyway, might be nothing. I'm on nothing now and haven't been for years. I just don't know if my apathy and general laziness is because I am just a lazy person, or because some doctor's faith in drugs and so-called science has screwed some bits of my brain.
