    I can't wait to see this go up against risperidone, olanzapine, and olanzapine. As an inpatient psychiatrist, I probably won't be seeing this or using this with any of my patients any time soon, but hopefully its more effective than our current options and costs come down in the next few years!

    My 23 year old son experienced his first episode of psychosis and subsequent diagnosis of schizophrenia 18 months ago with 3 hospitalizations and is presently on 6mg daily of risperidone and 1mg of Rexulti. He is no longer hearing voices but the weight gain,lethargy, and cognitive changes are painful for me to watch. I have read a little about KarXT and felt optimistic but recently his young psychiatrist told us he attended a conference and there was lots of discussion of KarXT and the takeaway was that it only shows some benefit for first time psychosis patients never treated with other antipsychotics and only as an adjunct to other antipsychotics. Needless to say I am a little confused from that and hope he is mistaken because I was hoping that it is improved in September and we could gradually transition him to KarXT with a lower dose of risperidone

    Its crazy how well Temazepam works as a hypnotic, no tolerance build up (15 years of 20 mg a night) and I can just stop using it whenever but Its irritating like when I was a kid spending hours too fall asleep. Its stage when people are put on such high doses of the potent ones, Temazepam’s flaw is it takes 30 mins about too start working and it help me read better with my dyslexia. Also people seem too think like 1 beer will kill you on them when a study for sleep was Temazepam and a shot of whisky, like the misinformation on its dangerous is a weird one, people act like its not a safe compound because people could abuse it but like before benzos we were using birbirtuits so far safer now, super difficult too over dose on and the drug deaths from benzo related withdrawal always ends up being person who takes like 900mg alprazolam for 20 days then stop. Its always so extreme with the dosing and length of dosing.

    Not sure about the refusal to start lamotrigine in an inpatient setting. Other faster acting meds are used for more acute symptoms. Antidepressants and meds like lamotrigine will be given as well for long term maintenance. Common sense really. There is more than one drug to give.

    I have a picture in my head showing a bunch of psychiatrists at the pharmaceutical company launch for Clozapine. The paid doctors are standing around drinking cocktails, dribbling saliva all over each other, and being stoned. They pretend in the comfort of each others side effects to be normal. Yes, it is normal to dribble like a bloodhound and being stoned because everybody in the room is the same. My wife has resistant relapses of psychosis and every time the Australian doctors reach for the Clozapine I tell them to get stuffed. Instead, she has used ECT, and her psychosis has vanished by the 4th treatment. For maintenance, she has gone back to Abilify with lower side effects. My wife has stayed well for 7 years. I challenge the psychiatrists to take their own drugs before telling everybody else to take them. Without medication, psychiatrists are nothing but a bunch of snake oil sellers. Their book of diagnosis DSM-TR5 is a book of consensus fiction. Phd James Davies, the author of the book "Cracked" questioned the godfather Robert Spitzer about how he and his team came up with the various mental illnesses in the first DSM book. He asked Spitzer if they used science to classify mental disorders. Spitzer replies, " Oh no, we just agreed with each other." Psychiatry is a pseudo-science.
