Dear Sal,
I tend to discount papers written on relatively new drugs. I believe in the 10/20/30 year rule (and please someone help me if I screw this up) 10 years to start documenting adverse effects for long term users, 20 for people to start suing and 30 to withdraw the drug. I was on mellaril for many years- it took 20 years for the pharmaceutical co. to issue the cardiac effects (which I experience). I am as hopeful as anyone when a new drug comes down the pipeline, especially for us treatment resistant types- but i still prefer use of drugs like benzos (20 years?) that have known side effects. Sorry, I could rant on this and should probably move to the other site- judy
