Psychotropic medicines are used to treat mental problems. They act on the brain and nervous system,thus help treat mental illness.
Purpose :- As stated earlier, the purpose of psychotropic drugs is to treat mental illness.
Side effects :- a) trouble sleeping.
b) drowsiness. c) blurred vision. d) nausea. e) vomiting. f) weight gain. g) anxiety. h) depersonalization. I) heart attack. j) suicidal ideation. k)mania l) psychosis. m) hallucinations.
Interactions :- I could not collect any proper answer for this. But MAOI are a potential group causing many drug interactions as per reports and studies.
Prevention :- It is better to try to reduce the doses to as minimum as possible. Don't try to stop the medicine at once. This may lead to unwanted relapses. The longer, a person takes a psychotic drug, the longer it will take for him/her to come out of the affect of the drug.
