If yes has there been any effects on the patient's emotions?
If one were to postulate forward then one would expect improvement in mood since as a Substance P antagonist it should have some benefits in lifting depression and or anxiety.
Mohsain: I have not been reviewing pharmaceuticals recently, but the primary psychiatric drugs ("major psychotropics") that were considered problematic in institutions in the 1970s (e.g., cut back the haldol or take it off) are still in use; the newest drug in that category was respridone (just went generic a few years ago) which resulted in a few years in again the tardive dyskinesia symptoms and neck injury. Believe it or not, sometimes a minor sedative (good night's sleep) or tranquilizer (though potential for misuse) may help to relieve symptoms (e.g., valium to relieve muscle spasms). Many of "our clients" from institutions did much better without the drugs or in the lowest dosages. Good to meet you. Julie Ann Racino about.me/julieannracino
