Section[edit]

What's going on with the image licence? I re-did the image as requested by someone else on here, the image was completely fresh. Did I get the licence statement wrong? Flume 00:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I still can't make head nor tail of the referencing system. I've added the bit about the overdose and causing torsade de pointes but I've only placed an inline link. I'd prefer that it went into the proper referencing section. If someone could do that and then place a note on my talk page, I'd be really grateful for the example.

Done. Fvasconcellos 16:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Patent expiry and generic names[edit]

Would be great to add info on the patent status - when Solian went generic, and what companies produce the cheaper versions, and list their names. CopperKettle (talk) 09:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confused...[edit]

"This results in an increase in dopaminergic transmission. This dopamine increase is hypothesized to cause a reduction in both depressive and negative symptoms."

Aren't negative psychotic sympotoms associated with the (crude, albeit established) theory of overproduction in dopamine, how is a dopaminergic increase supposed to help the negative symptoms of a schizophrenic patient? 91.132.224.196 (talk) 03:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps negative and positive symptoms use different dopamine pathways? I know that treating positive symptoms has no effect on negative symptoms... 207.237.41.202 (talk) 23:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's not a biomedical disease at all. Remember that when antipsychotics were invented they weren't called antipsychotics. They were called major tranquilisers. They made people relaxed without sending them to sleep. It was irrelevant whether they treat the internal experience (the positive symptoms). The fact is even the most potent and dangerous antipsychotic, clozapine, which works sort of like a neurochemical sawn off shot gun only reduces the delusions in some patients.

I'd always seen the negative symptoms as reactions to the positive symptoms, i.e. they're behaviours caused by what having these internal delusions can do to a person and what society does to them. Tranquilising people means less impact on and from society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morethanhuman (talk • contribs) 16:07, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I drive a medicine containing this substance. The name of medication is Solian. In Turkey, it is manufactured in the name of "Solian". I take 200 mg. Driving for;

schizophrenia,
psychotic disorders,
personality disorders,
cronical and acute anxiety disorders,
cronical depressive disorder,
bipolar disorder.

My doctor has given me it for Psychotic OCD with OCPD. I have driven for about ten months.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.230.134.67 (talk) 12:36, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How long does it stay in the bloodstream ?[edit]

I am curious to know this because after being on this drug continually for the last twelve years I have recently stopped taking it. My brain must be totally accustomed to the drug by now and I am wondering when it will leave my system. Anybody know? Smokey TheCat 10:25, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
