Because of Medical errors, I was on a drug called Valproate, which has given me Testicle atrophy . . Now my Testosterone is low and, my muscles don’t burn sugar, very well . .
In the last two weeks, I’ve had burning pains in my hands and, upper back, also feet, arms . . I’m trying to exercise more and, eat more healthy . . But, I don’t know . .
I’m on Clozapine ( Clozaril) which is known to cause Diabetes and, I asked my Psychiatrist and, he said he knew about it, of course . .
I wanted to ask for help, it feels my body is dying and, being destroyed, by the drugs . .
Does any-one find them helpful . .
for instance, Robert Whitaker has said in a talk, he’s a Harvard University journalist, I think, or he was, he’s won prizes . . Well, he said in a talk, that normal people and, schizophrenics have similar levels of dopamine and, the NIMH concluded this . . And, that the whole theory we have too much Dopamine and, need Dopamine-receptor Blockers is false . . In the sense, that it’s Not the Dopamine - system that cause schizophrenia / delusion . . Has any - one else heard of this ? !
Maybe the drugs work in other places, No one knows, but Psychiatrists have known since 1985, good Psychiatrists . . That the Dopamine theory is not good or, use-ful - -
So, if the drugs cure Psychosis, Delusions, it’s Not by blocking Dopamine . . I’m trying to Under-stand . . . Has any-one read R. Whitakers books, one is called ’ Mad in America ’ and also, ’ The Anatomy of an Epidemic ’ . . .
