Now my doctor says that I have brain damage from all the different meds. Does anyone know anything about the damages meds would cause, and how they would manifest themselves?
Steve - What were the meds and their dosages, length of therapy of each med and particular combinations. Tardive dyskinesia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome are two forms of brain damage that come to mind, but, if you look at the percentages, very, very few people who are treated with psychotropic medication ever develop any form of brain damage (but it does happen), What form of brain damage has occured to you? What are your symptoms, so we may be able to determine where the damage has occurred? - CAm
