Why antipsychotics arnt only prescribed for psycho

Below a certain dose, an antipsychotic has no antipsychotic effect - hence their use as tranquilizers and sleep aids in low doseage

I prefer brunettes.

It's too bad that the concept of receptor occupancy was not introduced.

Indeed - I guess it was an usefull articly which dumbed down a highly complex subject into terms any reasonably intelligent person could understand

Jono 12.5mg of seroquel years ago completely knocked me out. I couldn't tolerate it. And when it got raised same day to 50mg I couldn't talk or walk and almost fainted. Had to stay in bed at hospital til wore off the doc discontinued it that day. So I guess they don't agree with me. But I do need the blond back in my hair. Recently did go to light brown. Need the blond highlights. Phillipa

Hope it's OK to post it in this thread. Very interesting what he recommends doctors do before starting a patient on an AAP. Do any doctors do it?
No.
