Antipsychotic drugs
are used for controlling the quantity of certain neurotransmitters. They regulate
the levels of the ones which don't function in a right way in people with psychoses.
Schizophrenia can be treated in this way and it can also regulate illusions and
delusions.
Risperdal, or risoridone
is a new kind of antipsychotic drugs. The exact way of how it is worked out has
still unknown. But it is know that it can restrain both the dopamine and the
serotonin, which are chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters as the other
antipsychotic drugs can only restrain dopamine. We will tremble and feel dizzy
after we have taken risperdal. Also, our muscles will be kind of inflexible too.
These side effects will go away after a longer period of time.
Haldol, or Haloperidol
is a kind of antipsychotic drugs. It is used for regulating aggressive behaviors
in people with chronic brain syndrome and give symptomatic control of Gilles
de la Tourette's syndrome. It may also used to handle manifestations of acute
and chronic psychosis such as schizophrenia. Haldol inhibits dopamine to control
hyperactivity and mania. Vertigo, headaches, cerebral attack and problems in
sleeping are the side effects of taking Haldol. Yet these side effects will be
gone after a short period of time.
