Hi Scott,
Did the literature you read make you feel confident that the research was done correctly? I know you've read enough scientific articles to question who is behind the funding, the role of placebos, etc.- if you feel that the studies proved that cycling off and on atypicals was detimental then I accept those findings. (I know something similar was found with lithium, but i've also read studies that disproved that).
My side-effects can be quite frightening to me on atypicals- not just weight gain (although that is difficult for someone prone to bulimia); it's the dystonia that scares me, the possibility of permanancy. I've taken cogentin when my shaking is really bad, that helps somewhat. I guess to be honest this group, and I include the older ones like haldol just plain worries me. have you taken any APs long term- and if so which ones? and did you experience any permanant side-effects?
thanks, judy
