ARE OTHER PHYSICIANS TREATING THE BPD MEDICALLY? Are Other Physicians Treating the BPD Medically? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness Are Other Physicians Treating the BPD Medically? Are Other Physicians Treating the BPD Medically? ARE OTHER PHYSICIANS TREATING THE BPD MEDICALLY? Are Other Physicians Treating the BPD Medically? Question: Are you aware of any physicians treating BPD medically, as you do?  I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Dr. Heller’s Answer: There are a few, but they don’t know which medications to use and they try them all.  There is a false belief that no medications work well.  The literature shows many medications work somewhat.  The BPD needs a combination of medications. The Prozac (fluoxetine) / Tegretol (carbamazepine) combination with as needed Haldol (haloperidol) is amazing.  If the Haldol (haloperidol) doesn’t work, I’ll advise another Tegretol (carbamazepine) dose and if that doesn’t work Risperdal (risperidone) 3mg will make all dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) go away 24 hours later.  Unfortunately there aren’t any studies with combinations and as needed medications. Rarely a BPD patient will respond to an alternate medication such as Effexor (venlafaxine) (particularly in high doses), but most don’t. Individuals with the BPD usually have other diagnoses, especially ADHD, the generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorders, and occasionally bipolar.  These need to be treated as well because everything you have wrong with you makes everything else you have wrong with you worse.  I wish funding could be arranged to study the protocols I use in BPD treatment.  I know they work, as do my BPD patients and their families.  The literature backs them up individually, and one in combination (Prozac (fluoxetine) with Zyprexa (olanzapine) ) which I often prescribe for the first 3 days.  The success rates for this regimen, including the as needed medications is truly amazing.  The only way that the medical community can become aware of it is for a good, peer reviewable study to be performed with that approach.  Millions of people would benefit from this study.
