my problems are...
its very new, and i don't want to be a guinea pig, and it seems to be more EPS-inducing than Abilify...
and the relative lack of EPS (for me) is why I've stuck with Abilify.
im also concerned about dysphoria, which is something 'experts' generally don't care about, because (wait for it, wait for it) they don't take the pills they prescribe.
to be fair, I think there's more to drug-induced dysphoria than D2 binding. seroquel made me horribly dysphoric, zyprexa didn't until I got up to the dose that induced akathisia, and Haldol...was just a little taste of hell, basically.
but it is a concern. i also don't like the switch from what the psych described as a 'somewhat milder' neuroleptic to the one she thinks is amazing for mania, agitation, etc. "chemical strait jacket," anyone. did I somehow piss her off?
oh well. for now, it is still Abilify.
