List of drugs and psychotropic substances

According to statistics provided by law enforcement agencies, among the total number of Russians who use drugs, approximately two to three are young people. A significant part of them tried dangerous and prohibited substances for the very first time in their lives, not purchasing them from street dealers, but by visiting the most ordinary and legal pharmacy. Such figures are striking; one can be convinced that the authorities’ desire to tighten the procedure for handling narcotic pharmaceuticals does not bring the desired results. Those who wish still find new options to overcome the obstacles presented. Among pharmaceutical drugs there are a large number of addicted patients with considerable experience, as well as those who are simply consumed by curiosity.

Antipsychotics without a prescription - types, groups, indications

Neuroleptics in pharmacology mean antipsychotics, or antipsychotic drugs. These medications are preferred in the treatment of nervous, psychological, and mental disorders. The action of the drugs is powerful, but side effects are also common, so they are taken only when indicated.

There are two types of antipsychotics - typical and atypical, their main differences are in the table:

Due to the negative impact on the body, drugs of the first group are almost never used; only in a hospital setting, some of them are used in patients with schizophrenia. Modern, atypical antipsychotics are in some cases sold without a prescription, as they are considered safe for the patient. They calm, relieve stress, remove muscle spasms, and reduce the manifestations of neuroses.

What drugs are psychoactive

Psychoactive substances (surfactants) differ in the method of production and in their effect on the psyche and body. The production method differs:

• substances of natural origin isolated from plant materials;
• semi-synthetic, that is, synthesized from plants;
• synthetic - produced from other chemicals.

Based on their effect on the psyche, surfactants are divided into the following types of drugs:

Depressants suppress nervous excitement and the activity of the central nervous and respiratory systems. CU depressants include sleeping pills, sedatives, antipsychotics, and tranquilizers. Neuroleptics, or antipsychotics, are substances that suppress nervous activity and reduce excitability. These drugs eliminate delusions and hallucinations. Without affecting consciousness, they suppress emotionality and psychomotor agitation.

Psychostimulants have the opposite effect of depressants. This group of drugs activates the mental activity of the body. To a lesser extent, psychostimulants affect the physical body.

Antidepressants are also psychoactive substances. By influencing the level of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin, antidepressants improve mood, relieve anxiety, stimulate mental activity, normalize sleep and appetite. However, they must be taken strictly in the dosages prescribed by the doctor.

Olanzapine is a popular drug

Advertising:

In the list of drugs in the group that can be bought without a prescription, Olanzapine occupies the leading position. It belongs to the new generation of atypical neuroleptics, its price is low - 130 rubles for 28 tablets. It contains the active substance of the same name and a number of auxiliary components.

The medicine acts on dopamine and serotonin receptors.

Olanzapine acts as follows: it selectively reduces the excitability of a number of neurons, while improving the functioning of the nerve pathways responsible for motor functions. During the course of treatment, negative manifestations decrease, and a pronounced anti-anxiety effect is observed.

A stroke is manifested by a violation of cerebral circulation, in which cells of the nervous system die. It is better to prevent a cerebral stroke than to rehabilitate its consequences, and both men and women should engage in timely prevention to the same extent. Read more in the article: “prevention: how to avoid a stroke.”

Side effects of Olanzapine are more often observed with a long course or exceeding the dosages specified by the doctor:

• drowsiness;
• dizziness;
• weight gain;
• swelling in the legs;

• moderate increase in prolactin;
• decreased blood pressure;
• constipation

In isolated cases, a sharp increase in sugar, ketoacidosis, hepatitis, and blood disorders were noted. Indications include various psychotic disorders, neurotic attacks. It is prohibited to purchase and take the product during pregnancy, kidney or liver failure, or in people under 18 years of age. The dose is 10 mg/day, it can be increased only according to strict indications! Analogues with the same active substance are Zyprexa Zidis, Zalasta, Egolanza.

The results of a scientific study showed that performing special exercises for several months helps restore potency in 75% of practicing men, regardless of what age category they belong to. Read more in the article: “exercises for potency.”

Medicines based on risperidone

Such drugs are widely used in neurological and psychotherapeutic practice. The active component risperidone is part of a whole list of antipsychotic drugs without prescriptions. Risperidone is a strong antipsychotic drug that simultaneously has a number of other effects:

• hypothermic;
• antiemetic;
• sedative
  Read also:  Reactive psychosis. Symptoms, causes and treatment

Risperidone binds to serotonin and dopamine receptors and also interacts with H1-histamine receptors. The medicine copes well with both serious mental disorders (delusions, hallucinations, manifestations of schizophrenia), and helps with more common problems - neuroses, depression, nervous overexcitation. Among others, indications for risperidone include:

• Alzheimer's disease;
• senile dementia;
• aggressive behavior in children 5-16 years old.

Advertising:

The most inexpensive drug is Risperidone - it costs 150 rubles for 20 tablets, you can also buy Risset for 160 rubles, and Ridonex for 320. Rispaxol and Rileptide cost about 600-700 rubles, and the medicine Rispolet in the form of powders for suspension is sold for 4,500 rubles.

Ariprizole and Serdolect

The drugs have a similar mechanism of action and are quite safe for the treatment of psychosis. The cost of Ariprizole is very high - more than 5,500 rubles/30 tablets, so it is better to purchase it with the approval of a specialist and according to strict indications. It contains the antipsychotic aripiprazole, which acts on the nerve receptor system and produces a powerful sedative and antipsychotic effect.

The therapeutic effect of treatment usually develops within 3-5 days and increases over time.

The medicine is indicated for any depressive disorder, but in some cases it must be combined with antidepressants. Patients with cardiac pathologies are treated with great caution; a number of side effects are possible (arrhythmia, heart failure, hypotension).

The medicine Serdolect costs less - 2200 rubles/30 tablets. They can replace the drug described above, since their effect is similar. It is forbidden to give Serdolect for any moderate to severe heart disease, with reduced levels of potassium and magnesium in the blood, for children, and for pregnant women.

What other antipsychotics are on the market?

There are not many drugs in this group on the pharmacological market that can be purchased in pharmacies without a prescription. The first generation of products are not sold commercially and are only available in state pharmacies.

In children from the age of 3 years, the drug Clozapine is prescribed - a strong antipsychotic with a number of serious side effects.

Experts often recommend the antipsychotic Tizercin (Levomepromazine) as a mild sedative. It has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, reducing the frequency of mood swings, depressive states, and asthenic manifestations. Also the drug:

Advertising:

• blocks unreasonable fear;
• eliminates a constant state of anxiety;
• helps with neurotic disorders.

Another remedy is Quetiapine (680 rubles) with the active substance of the same name. Its big advantage is the lack of impact on the body's hormonal system. Even with long-term use, prolactin levels remain at the same level. Side effects are also rare - headaches, dizziness, diarrhea or constipation, and increased levels of liver enzymes (reversible) prevail among them. The drug is widely used against various types of depressive disorders.

Other known antipsychotics:

• Invega;
• Eglonyl;
• Aminazine;
• Leponex;
• Melleril.

The course of treatment can last for months, but the longer it is, the higher the risk of developing withdrawal syndrome. You need to stop taking medications in stages, gradually reducing the dose.

According to data provided in the 2006 report of the United Nations Drug Control and Crime Prevention Committee, the level of people using psychoactive drugs in Russia reached a record high of 15% (!). In other words, every twelfth Russian uses drugs. In large cities, the level of population abuse is significantly higher than the national average, and can reach 15 - 20%. Drug testing is required for employment in any US government agency and most large private companies. Unfortunately, in our country such studies are not carried out even in those areas where they are absolutely necessary - just remember the recent incident when it was completely accidentally discovered that one of the air traffic controllers at Sheremetyevo Airport is a drug user with many years of experience.
