would the doc in Ireland be reluctan to point the blame on antipsychotic drugs cos his dad was a consultant psychiatrist? Rate of effect of neuroleptic drugs can be as high as 70% of long term users and I certainly was that but, now's the catch, I didnt show any adverse sighns of drug induced tardiv dyskinesia when taking them but the book says here that the drugs can do this too in some cases and it is only when you come off the drugs that effects begin to show.
It also mentioned inability to maintain body temperature control and overheating both of which I have extreme difficulties with. Also mentions some effected have difficulty staying away from drinking water and I now have an extreme need for water, in the book it said it can get as bad as the person dying from drowning, but I'm not that bad but if I do not have water when I need it, say in the middle of the night it can be quite painful and when I dring the water I cant get enough of it and drink in mad frantic gulps but it does stop with a full glass and I am then satisfied.
I am still wondering about all this. I am just perplexed as hell. Either way no one would admit to it being the drugs considering my twin who never was on em has parkinsons and there is a higher risk for me due to that fact.\bed now.
