Seroquel isn't a miracle, after all

I think shrinks these days have forgotten something: NO ONE LIKES ANTIPSYCHOTICS. Yes, now and then someone might do well on low-doses w/o problems but overall--no one likes antipsychotics. This is why they have to make liquid and long-acting injection forms of these drugs; NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THEM VOLUNTARILY. And its disturbing to see them being sprayed about on everyone so casually. Imagine how we'd feel if instead of the new drugs docs were using the old ones--"hey, you're anxious? OK, take some Haldol" Yeah, no...that wouldn't fly. And the new drugs really aren't that much better than the old ones, so in a sense thats what our docs are doing--shutting up everyone's problems with re-formulated Haldol and Thorazine, irrespective of what the actual problem **is**. For as much $$$ as shrinks are paid, I honestly think we can expect a little more.
