Question 1

what medication works for raynaud's disease?

Accepted Answer

Vasodilators: Treatment for raynaud's is twofold: 1.Protect hand an feet with warm clothing when exposed to cold weather.  2. Use vasodilators.  However, the medication will dilate blood vessels all over the body so its effect on the hand and feet is limited.  Other thoughts are to find out if there is an underlying disease causing the symptoms and treat that.  As a last resort some have moved to warmer places.

Question 2

what are the best medications for dissocative disorders?

Accepted Answer

Dissociation: There are no great drugs for treatment of dissociation. Prazosin has been found to help with PTSD nightmares and overall sxs in veterans and has the most data to support. Drugs for specific symptoms, like insomnia or depression or anxiety, may be helpful. The real treatment is psychotherapy, like DBT with experiential therapies like psychodrama or creative art therapies. It is treatable!

Question 9

why must i try different medications for mood disorders?

Accepted Answer

You are not alone: Everyone responds to different meds differently.  If you look at the latesy studies, it is common to not respond to several different trials.  It isn't necessarily you, as we still don't clearly understand what causes mood disorders and how to treat them.  If you are having trouble, i would suggest talking with your doctor. However bipolar, sub use and personality issues need special treatment.

Question 10

why  medications can be given for schizoaffective disorder?

Accepted Answer

Because they help: Schizoaffective disorder has prominent mood problems as well as psychosis, so several types of medications may be needed--antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers.  They can markedly reduce overall symptoms and improve quality of life when they work but also can produce side effects that can make patients reluctant to stay on the medications.
