I don't know if it has been stated in this thread but...
At the LOW DOSAGES that these neuroleptic antipsychotics are to be used for depression, bipolar disorder, and other non-schizoid conditions, the risk of developing EPS and tardive dyskinesia is MUCH lower. Of course, I would not want to portray this as zero risk. However, right now, I myself have no hesitency to use low-dosage APs as I have already progressed through trials of Zyprexa, Seroquel, and Risperdal.I hope this adds some perspective to this issue.
** KAREN! GOOD LUCK WITH GEODON!I will be awaiting your observations and conclusions with great excitement.
