Do you have experience with people with bad reactions to most medications, especially psychiatric? what can be the reason and the cure? my body has bad reactions to most of the medications despite severe cognitive problems and pressure in the head.

Meds & side effects: Med intolerance is almost universal in my own family. Thoughts: 1)Liver enzymes of some people are different so they process meds differently. 2)Depression can turn one's focus inwards & amplify side effects (SE). 3)Anxiety can focus attention on SE. 4)Psych meds are notorious for their side effects//Whatever the reason,SE are SE.I've had success prescribing at VERY low doses & increasing SLOWLY.

See below: Sorry your having cognitive problems and difficulty with medication. It would be helpful to know what type of cognitive problems you are having? Sometimes bad effects may be because the dose of the medication was too strong, or because it was the wrong medicine for your for your condition. You need to find a skilled psychiatrist whom you trust. Don't hesitate to get another opinion.
