Hi everyone,
I hope alienatari doesn't mind me speaking on his behalf! Alien - correct me if I anything which I say is incorrect :-)
AFAIK, alienatari developed a TD-like disorder while taking amisulpride (Solian) - it consisted of abnormal involuntary movements of the jaw. It persisted for a few months after discontinuation and then remitted. He later developed similar symptoms while taking Zyprexa. Again, the symptoms decreased significantly after several months without Zyprexa. Alien has also suffered from acute EPS in the past, particularly dystonia and akathisia, which responded to Cogentin.
Alienatari has taken all the atypical APs available in Australia apart from clozapine. He has taken a few typical APs as well. He has also taken most (all?) of the available ADs apart from Nardil.
Since alien suffers EPS on Seroquel and Zyprexa, as well as the other APs, clozapine might be useful if his psychosis gets worse.
