    The buspirone challenge test clearly distinguishes ME/CFS patients from healthy controls: why is it not being developed and deployed?

    ...had no idea that "dopamine" was also named the "prolactin-inhibiting hormone". Literature on nicotine did not tell me that. I gather that olanzapine (Zypraxa) can also increase prolactin levels, and it can exaggerate prolactin levels already raised by a number of possible causes. Some causes...

    Aripiprazole - Abilify

    I think olanzapine isn't first line of defense for MDD, but at the time I was already on both escitalopram and buproprion. Also, I think olanzapine is more apt to be used for MDD in individuals with anorexia, which I've had a history of since age 19, since it can increase appetite. (At the time...

    Aripiprazole - Abilify

    Whoa, wait--I missed something: olanzapine (which I've been taking since 2008, originally prescribed for MDD secondary to severe weight-loss post-surgery) shrinks people's brains?

    How Might Benzodiapines (Ativan, Clonazapem) help with ME/CFS?

    ...does play a crucial roll in reducing illness severity. Having said that, when I was sectioned back in 2014 they made me start taking Olanzapine 20mg (which was too high a dose and caused me panic attacks). Since then I've not been able to sleep without 10mg Olanzapine plus 7.5mg Zopiclone...

    Aripiprazole - Abilify

    Also, just asking out of interest, seems quite unorthodox to prescribe an antipsychotic alone like olanzapine for MDD? Some antipsychotics are approved to augment/use in addition to a standard antidepressant, like Abilify, though at a much lower dosage (5 mg) than for antipsychotic use.

    ...the persistence of toxoplasma gondii in the brain and schizophrenia. The author's claimed that common antipsychotics (might have been olanzapine they referred to but i don't remember exactly) had an anti parasitic effect and that might explain why they treat the illness. I remember thinking...

    Corticosteroids with low glucocorticoid activity as a potential therapeutic strategy for post‐COVID‐19 [ME/CFS], 2025, Nakajima et al

    Did the research compare brain atrophy rates to unmedicated controls with schizophrenia? Otherwise it would be hard to know if it was schizophrenia itself or antipsychotics that cause an increased atrophy rate over time compared to baseline age-related atrophy. Also I think all that research...
