Yep..Scott and Link, I certainly don't think people should just take the drugs if problems show up, and that people shouldn't be afraid to be critical. Like you said Linkadge, it mostly depends on individual reactions. And Scott, I was very much thinking of the demon/fear stirred up over benzo use in this case. So, basically, I think we'd all agree, start low and go slow, and don't shrug off any side effects. Actually, in the post where I read about (an exception from above) using 2 or so mg of Risperdal at once for a few days, being somewhat useful for dysphoric mania, the author (a pdoc) said they had the same experience with a 2-3 day script of Haldol, at about 5mg. Interesting, because these two meds have some chemical connections.
Best,
Jay
