Some docs just believe what the drug companies tell them. I have two friends who have Bipolar I with psychotic features... One has TD and akathisia from years of Seroquel (controlled somewhat with propanonol) and the other has TD and akathisia from not-even-a-year of Abilify, controlled somewhat with cogentin.These folks need their APs for sure, and I am glad they're working for them. But it's a bunch of bull that the atypicals don't cause EPS.
If SSRIs were the trend of the 1990s, atypical APs were the trend of the 2000s. I have a feeling in another 5-20 years antidopaminergic drugs will be considered crude, especially if the NMDA agonists work out as well as people hope for psychosis.
