I agree with a great deal of what jubei wrote. APs are being prescribed for all kinds of non-psychotic disorders simply because big pharma is making a great deal of money from them so their reps push them to pdocs to prescribe. I have taken just about all the APs but I have psychotic episodes (I am diagnosed with bipolar 1). they have some awful side-effects (EPS) with akathisia being the worst for me personally. there is no way I would ever risk EPS if I wasn't psychotic at times- and even then I take APs for as short a time as possible.
best of luck-judy
