In reply to Atypical antipsychotics as mood stabilizers?, posted by chess on December 13, 2006, at 10:28:38
> Can someone please explain to me how atypical antipsychotics (Zyprexa, Seroquel, etc) work to stabilize mood if in fact they block dopamine and serotonin?
Good question chess. I'd also like to know. I've been on 5 mg Zyprexa for 4 years and now wish to come off it; but it is a very hard drug to come off. If I had been told how hard it is to come off I would never have taken it in the first place. Its darn expensive too. My treatment over the past 4 years has cost the equivalent of a brand new small motor car, something decent - middle of the range. The UK NHS has paid for this, no wonder they are short of money....
