The video discusses the differences between antipsychotics: quetiapine (Seroquel), olanzapine (Zyprexa), and clozapine (Clozaril). Quetiapine is approved for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and as an adjunct for depression. It is considered a "jack of all trades, master of none" and is useful for Parkinson's psychosis due to its low risk of extrapyramidal side effects. However, it has significant sedation, weight gain, and orthostatic hypotension side effects. The next difference between antipsychotics brings us to Olanzapine is one of the most effective antipsychotics, just below clozapine, but with significant weight gain and metabolic complications. It is effective for mood disorders and acute agitation, and smoking significantly impacts its levels. Anti-psychotic differences are notable in Clozapine, as it is the gold standard for treatment-resistant schizophrenia and reducing suicide risk. Despite its superior efficacy, it has serious side effects like agranulocytosis, myocarditis, constipation, and hypersalivation, requiring strict monitoring. However, it is cost-effective and provides improved outcomes, leading to the conclusion that it is underutilized, but patient adherence and understanding of adverse effects are crucial.

Side effects of taking Codeine tablets. A video on the side effects of taking codeine tablets and learn how long does codeine withdrawal and addiction symptoms last . A narcotic that’s typically used to reduce coughing and relieve mild forms of pain. However, it’s easy to fall into a viscous cycle of addiction to the drug, and getting out of it can be tough. People trapped in the cycle typically suffer from some seriously unpleasant side effects.
These include drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting…and that’s just the tip of the addictive iceberg. Some even experiences stomach pain, excessive sweating, constipation, flushing, itching…and rashes.
These side effects are usually worsened when the drug is mixed with alcohol or other medications. Even HERBAL supplements can fuse with Codeine to create a potentially lethal combination.
Yes, the reality of Codeine addiction (and its side-effects) are frightening. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

VIDEO SUMMARY
----------------------------
Niacin (Vitamin B-3) is involved in over 400 biochemical reactions in the body!
As with other nutrients, methylfolate and niacin levels need to be in balance.
High doses of specific nutrients will push certain biochemical pathways more than others.
This is why niacin can be used to offset methylfolate side effects.
Niacin deficiency can cause: irritability, headaches, migraines, and possibly skin issues.

How Does Metoclopramide Compare To Other Anti-nausea Drugs? Managing nausea can be challenging, particularly with the numerous medications available. In this informative video, we will discuss Metoclopramide, a medication commonly prescribed for nausea and vomiting. We'll cover how it works, its common uses, and the different ways it can be administered.
Additionally, we will compare Metoclopramide with other anti-nausea medications such as Ondansetron, Prochlorperazine, and Promethazine. Each of these medications has its own unique properties and potential side effects. Understanding these differences is essential for both patients and healthcare providers when determining the best course of treatment.
We'll also touch on the importance of considering the specific type of nausea being treated and the patient's medical history when selecting a medication. By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer understanding of the various options available for managing nausea and how they differ from one another.

The Dangers of Prednisone - https://youtu.be/60hN7FKcjvY
💡Video Key Takeaways
✔️ Prednisone should not be stopped abruptly due to the risk of adrenal insufficiency. A slow, methodical tapering process allows adrenal glands to resume cortisol production.
✔️ The tapering schedule should be personalized based on the duration of prednisone use and the individual's health status. Decrease the dose gradually over days, weeks, or months, depending on the length of use.
✔️ Always discuss tapering plans with a doctor to ensure it's safe and appropriate. Regular communication helps manage expectations and adjust the tapering process as needed.
✔️ Fatigue and other symptoms may occur during tapering but usually stabilize. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a doctor to possibly adjust the tapering pace or dose.
✔️ Long-term prednisone use requires monitoring bone and gut health, potentially needing bone density scans and vitamin D checks. Alternate dosing can help manage tapering difficulties.

Our treatment specialist and founder of ATMC, Lyle Murphy, answers your biggest concerns about the second generation antipsychotic drug Clozapine.

19:04 - Can hypomotility caused by clozapine affect the absorption and efficacy of it?
20:32 - Will fasting for 24 hours affect the absorption of clozapine and cause a problem?
24:25 - ATMC
Careful Clozaril withdrawal can minimize the potential for rebound psychosis and cholinergic crises. Clozaril belongs to a class of drugs called SGA’s or second-generation antipsychotics.
Used in the treatment of certain mental conditions such as schizophrenia and psychosis, Clozaril is often prescribed only AFTER other antipsychotics did not work or caused severe side effects.
Alternative to Meds has been the expert on antipsychotic withdrawal and Clozaril alternatives for over 15 years. We have published evidence regarding our success. Underlying issues can in many cases be addressed in much less toxic ways. It is possible that some medical conditions could have been overlooked. Commonly some or all of the original contributing factors have improved or changed, and the diagnosis one was given may no longer lead to recovery.
What Is Clozaril (clozapine) Used For?
Clozaril is used in the treatment of certain mental disorders, where other (usually at least two) other antipsychotic medications have not worked, or where the side effects were too harsh and could not be tolerated by the patient. A candidate for a prescription of Clozaril could be someone diagnosed with conditions such as:
Treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
Treatment-resistant schizoaffective disorder with a known risk for suicide.
Please note that elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis should NOT be prescribed Clozaril (or other antipsychotic medications) due to the increased risk of death.
Discontinuing/Quitting Clozaril (clozapine)
There are circumstances where immediate withdrawal of Clozaril is medically needed as a life-saving intervention. These include potentially life-threatening adverse reactions to the drug which are delineated in detail under the adverse effects section, for instance, cardiovascular compromise, risk of stroke, signs of tardive dyskinesia, and other severe reactions.
In the majority of cases, gradual Clozaril tapering methods are recommended for coming off the drug.
Always seek medical guidance and direction from your doctor before making changes to medications.
