> from what i gather, from all of the aphycotics, seroquel causes the least side effects of td or esp. Esp at low doses, which at 50mg helps me sleep great, and no side effects,except for am sedation. BUT the good thing with seroquel i like unlike zyprexa, is its half life is only 7-8 hrs after taking it, so by the next day afternoon, your not dragging butt all day.
> genoActually Clozapine is the atypical anti-psychotic least likely to cause TD. There are no reported cases of TD as far as I know. Clozapine can still cause EPS however, but not TD. Clozapine is the safest atypical at least when it comes to movement disorder risks. However Clozapine has other difficult side effects unrelated to movement disorders and its generally only used for refractory schizophrenics.
