Ok.
Essentially, I am saying that antipsychotics do more to reduce guilt and anxiety, than they do to reduce anhedonia.
I think the comment about the drugs not doing a whole lot for atypical depression type features is fair. When I am in an state of apathy, and all I want to do is sit on the couch all day, zyprexa doesn't do a whole lot for me. Thats all I am saying.
I am not saying that zyprexa makes you a couch potato, or that anyone who takes it is a couch potato. I am just saying that if apathy is your main symptom, I think that there are better drugs than the atypical antipsychotics. Thats what I am getting at.
If my comments don't apply to your situation, then I'd like to hear your comments.
If I offend a babbler then I am sorry, but I am not going to oppologise for offending a drug.
