> Just a thought....I take clozapine, an AP which is unique in that it doesn't cause any extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), which are movement-disorder side effects and it also doesn't cause TD which as you know is a permanent case of EPS. The only problem is that you have to have your blood drawn weekly the first 6 mos., then every other week, etc. I just mention it because i tried several other APs, old- and new- generation, and always had severe EPS. Clozapine works well, no EPS, and I've been on it for about 8 mos. It might be worth trying if you need an AP.
Hi,
Thanks for the post.
I don't need an AP per say- I am not psychotic. I was given Geodon for it's extreme antidepressant quality and because it was really activating. I believe Abilify is similar. But Clozapine is sedating so I don't know how it would benefit me. :(
But thank you
Love D
