A few pieces of interesting news...Dr. Daniel Carlat has been busy. He aptly notes that Pristiq is an Effexor copycat that apparently provides no special benefits over soon to be generic venlafaxine. Hey, didn't I just write a piece or two about Effexor? In addition, Carlat continues to hammer the corrupting, I er, continuing medical education industry. He also documents the use of deceptive "surveys" to market antipsychotics. Excellent work -- keep it up! Dr. Grohol at PsychCentral pointed out another set of potential problems with the surveys. Furious Seasons puts forth Ye Olde Pimp Slappe on antidepressant use in bipolar disorder with a side dish of I Told You So.

SWEET!-CL Psych.Drugs of the Future-Paliperidone"Paliperidone is an active metabolite of risperidone (Risperdal), a widely prescribed antipsychotic agent used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Paliperidone acts as a dual antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathway and 5-HT2A receptors in the prefrontal cortex. Its ability to bind to these receptors corresponds with its antipsychotic effect and stabilization of some of the antisocial behaviors in patients with schizophrenia. Paliperidone has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and is being developed using the OROS extended-release formulation technology with the aim of providing smooth 24-h exposure to the... soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=993270 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 02:13:00 +0100 993270 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=993272&cid=t_138685_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F10%2Fabout-medications.html just a thought to keep in your mind as it always is in my own: how my daughter's journey started with medications and diagnoses based on medication reactions, activation, whatever you want to call it, there will always be a question in my mind about it. and then of course the mega-antipsychotics she is currently on. it's okay to question medication outcomes, and life quality on them. because if life is less than best on medications, there is room for wanting more than what weve got. low % and just existing just doesnt cut it for me. while nothing is perfect, it certainly isnt perfect is it? this medication based paradigm based on medications that have not proven themselves in many, many people. i see a lot. seen a lot. saw much. and there hasnt been a lot of happiness where ive been, in an... soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=993272 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:21:00 +0100 993272 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=935333&cid=t_138685_140_f&fid=35439&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbipolarsoupkitchen-stephany.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F10%2Flisten-up-and-listen-good.html im about to floor you.rip the rug from under your feet.land face down.bleeding.feel the pain. you cant move.ever. i have an off the record confirmation from one of my daughters psych's that she is the result of brain damage due to psych meds, and important to note: those meds were high-dosed at 11 per 13 weeks in one psych ward and the others are to be listed later. the worst damage was done inpatient inside locked down psych wards. now i have a 19 year old who was last time i saw her a 4.0 GPA senior to be in high school, age 29 reader at age 8.

Liz Spikol has a post on the topic that I found immensely entertaining. Daniel Carlat points out why the drug was rejected -- because it does not work very well. Yes, some doses showed a bit of improvement over placebo, yet bifeprunox did not impress when tried head-to-head against risperidone or olanzapine. Adding this drug to an already crowded antipsychotic market would seemingly do little for people with schizophrenia but would help Wyeth, which is looking a little desperate these days considering it has little to replace its flagship antidepressant Effexor.What about Pristiq, the "son of Effexor," -- well, that ain't looking so promising (1, 2, 3).

Efficacy data wasn’t sufficient, and the FDA wants more ‘human metabolism’ info, along with details of one patient death. Here’s the Wyeth statement: “The FDA stated in the letter that bifeprunox demonstrated effectiveness in the long-term maintenance study and indicated that a second positive maintenance study could be sufficient to support a maintenance claim for bifeprunox.

At the time I found one of the first links I link to in some of my posts, my daughter was on Zyprexa. Anything at that point looked good. Being that Abilify caused severe mania, I think my hope for Biff isn't as strong as it was before.
