What group of therapeutic drugs used to treat psychological disorders are commonly referred to as tranquilizers?
Any drug that ends with pam,like diazepam clonazepam etc....
Do medications given by psychiatrists act as chemical lobotomies killing brains cells to permanently alter personality and does a chemical attack on emotion cause any dangerous psychopathology?
If the correct psychiatric medication for a particular patient is given in the correct dosage, then nothing resembling a chemical lobotomy will result, and many patients are greatly helped. The use of the wrong drug or the wrong dosage of a drug can be very harmful to a patient. Mental illness is difficult to treat. As for your question about possible psycopathology resulting from a chemical attack on emotion, the most common problem with excessive or inappropriate use of tranquilizers would be addiction to tranquilizers or other drugs. People at some point become unable to manage their emotions without drugs, which is not the healthiest outcome that we might seek.

How do you stop yourself from crying in public?
Let me know when you find out! (First answer.) I'm adding: You may be suffering from depression. Normal grieving isn't depression, but ongoing unbreakable sadness is. I have that problem too sometimes because I'm bereaved and have PTSD. If you are weeping much of the time, losing interest in your usual activities, and feeling impulses to harm yourself, and above all if thoughts of suicide occur to you, GET HELP IMMEDIATELY because you are suffering from clinical depression, which is a treatable condition but can be very dangerous if left untreated. If you are grieving a loss or undergoing bullying or abuse, seek help from a school counselor or, if you are further into adulthood, seek out a professional in good standing. Be careful if you are offered medications, but if you need anti-depressants, very cautiously-monitored doses can help adults. Teens, on the other hand, often become much worse on anti-depressants. There are other ways to help teens in trouble. If you are a teen and your parents are not abusive, tell them you are in trouble. If they are, then tell a trusted teacher or other reliable adult. Bottom line: if you're too depressed to cope, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it means you need help, and no, you're not crazy: the fact you asked proves that!
Can you mix Wellbutrin and xanax?
It all depends on certain factors such as is it prescribed? how much of each you are taking? and most important are you tolerant to the medications. someone who isn't used to suboxone and xanax can have life threatening consequences if taken together or even by them selves. Ive been on suboxone for 2 years and wellbutrin for 2 months. i will take .5 mg of xanax here and there if i cant sleep. I am tolerant to the suboxone and have taken benzos i.e "xanax in the past. the combination of the 3 if not taken at the same time is fine if you have tolerance to the suboxone and the xanax. if your a noob and haven't taken these meds that much then never ever mix them it could kill you because both are respiratory depressants which will stop your breathing if the person is not used to the medications. Talk to your Dr. if you have one thats always the best advice.
