Question 1

what is the definition or description of: mellaril allergy?

Accepted Answer

Mellaril Allergy: Thioridazine (Mellaril) is a piperidine antipsychotic drug  which was used for treatment of  schizophrenia and psychosis. In 2005 Mellaril was withdrawn due to cardiac arrhythmias. Allergic reactions could include swelling of tongue, throat, lips, mouth, hives or difficulty breathing.

Question 2

is mellaril all right to use for my  anxiety instead of chlorpromazine?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on what kind of anxiety you have, and what your doctor has prescribed for you.  Both Mellaril and Chlorpromazine are older antipsychotic medications which often have sedating effects as well.   Psychotic anxiety can certainly respond to these medications, but if you have a non-psychotic disorder there may be better medicines for you.  Please discuss with your psychiatrist.

Question 3

what is the drug mellaril used for?

Accepted Answer

Antipsychotic: Mellaril is an older antipsychotic agent, used to help people with hallucinations, delusions, etc.  Smaller doses can also be used for very severe anxiety and sleeplessness.   It can cause a lot of dry mouth, constipation, difficulty urinating, and dizziness when standing up though.

Question 4

what is mellaril thioridazine used for?

Accepted Answer

Antipsychotic: Thioridazine is an older ("first-generation") antipsychotic medication, used primarily for the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychotic illness. Because of dangerous cardiac side effects and drug-drug interactions associated with thioridazine, it is not considered a "first line" treatment, as there are many newer and safer antipsychotic medications available.

Question 5

can you please tell me how safe is the nardil, (phenelzine) mellaril, and norpramin medication?

Accepted Answer

Somewhat depends: All three have been used for more than 40 years.  Nardil needs to be taken in context of care diet modification, but it works quite well.  Mellaril is an antipsychotic used for years and years, until eli lilly got scared of Geodon (ziprasidone) and forced the fda to study other antipsychotics for qtc changes.  Again, quite safe.  Norpramin is despiramine, one of the first antidepressants; again, used for years.

Question 6

are there extrapyramidal symptoms occur with thorazine, haldol, (haloperidol) mellaril, or cardiazem?

Accepted Answer

Some: Yes for the first 3 which are 1st generation antipsychotic meds.  I've not heard of it or suspect for cardiazem (diltiazem) which is a heart med. Extrapyramidal sx (eps) include: tremors, stiffness, restlessness.  They can be managed by dosage reduction, change in med or by giving meds that counter such as cogentin, propranolol, amantadine and sometime ativan.

Question 7

extrapyramidal symptoms occur with thorazine, haldol, (haloperidol) mellaril, or cardiazem, is this true?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, all of these medications can potentially cause eps. The first 3 are much more likely than the 4th due to mechanism of action.

Question 8

what are the signs that you might have a cat allergy?

Accepted Answer

Sneezing.....: Runny nose, itchy nose and throat, nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, and possibly even cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

Question 9

can bone pain be a sign of allergy?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: I presume you know you didnt "bang" the bone...So if it has lasted a while see your dr. Who will tke a full history and examine you..An allergy would be unusual.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Tetanus shot : A sore arm is the expected side effect. Any allergic to reaction would have occurred by now such as rash and difficult breathing and GI symptoms
