OH! That makes sense. I misunderstood. I'm not saying antipsychotics shouldn't be used for psychotic symptoms, just that they shouldn't be used off-label. Cheaper is definitely an issue for patients for two reasons. One would be if they pay out-of-pocket, and Two would be that unnecessary use of expensive drugs makes insurance more expensive for everyone...
> I agree with you though I fail to see why cheaper should be an issue for a patient. My personal case is slightly different though, I must take antipsychotics for my schizophrenia however I would like the one(s) I take to also tackle anxiety. My subject line "antipsychotic for anxiety" is misleading in that respect.
