Hi all. It's me once again. LOL
I am just wondering if someone would please be so kind as to explain to me in layman's (sp?) terms what the words in the subject title actually mean in regard to psychitry. Also what about CYP-2D6 and CYP-3A4?
My new medication, Invega (Palperidone) says the following and I'd just like to know a bit more about what I'm reading and taking:
Properties:
*Benzisoxazole
DA2 antagonist
5-HT2A antagonist
NE alpha-1 antagonist
NE alpha-2 antagonist
H1 antagonistHalf-Life & Metabolism:
23 Hours
CYP-2D6
CYP-3A4I believe that DA2 is a kind of Dopamine, 5-HT2A is some type of Serotonin, NE Alpha 1 & 2 are some kinds of Norepinephrine and H1 is a type of Histamine.
But in all honesty I really don't know much about this stuff. Can ya tell? LOL So if anyone would be so kind as to please enlighten me I'd be most thankful. I really would like to know more about what I'm putting into my body and what it's doing in there.
Thanks again. :)
Hugs,
BB
