Hi again
Come on, as a section 12(2) approved doctor, with a major interest in
psychiatry, nearly career psychiatrist, and GP, Thioridazine was
cracking drug and we have been in trouble since it was banned. So we
used, chlorpromazine, promazine, olanzapine and risperidone, as a good
drug had been taken away. And now atypical antipsychotics causes
strokes, so naughty doctor's, (slap wrists you can't use them), so we
are back to chlorpromazine and promazine which dont't work well, and
cause Parkinsonistic side effects. So when you have a batty person who
is not sectionable, but screams all night night long and keeps the
neighbours awake, and social services and the council are on your back
to do something, remember 1) Thioridazine worked for almost all patients
2) Long stay and rehab wards have been sold off and are now new housing
estates. God, Isn't care in the community a real breeze and such a
sucess story. Good Heavens, the pigs are flying low tonight.
