Ross -

> chad. first off what with the socialfear link??
> its in all your posts. that link is from a guy, i forget his name. why do u use it?

For some reason I had to keep getting new names on this board (I think they expired after a time of non-use or something) ... I should probably drop actionjackson for chad which also is same as ray (I'm the guy with SP website BTW) also = in past krekpark = rick_1001? = ... think that's it!! : )

> second taking a small dose 2.5 BID of zyprexa is not going to induce TD. as per study from medscape home page it might actually help TD.

Not so sure about that - have posted elsewhere on it so probably will just repeat myself here ... I do think zyprexa is "safer" than risperdal or amisulpride - but in my case a few days of <2.5mg made my own problem worse ... classic TD usually takes long term use (common in skitzophrenics on high doses) - but depression / anxious disoders - those patients often get tardive movements (not necesarrily "tardive dyskinesia" but other tardive movements disorders - ie; tardive dystonia, tardive complex tics, etc... which can occur quickly and at low doses ... esp. in young males - and esp with concurrent meds. Also - you are unlikely to develop tardive (chronic persistent) movements while on zyprexa - but rather when you *stop* - a/p's are sometimes (controversially) used to "treat" TD and tardive disorders because they "mask" the symptoms - while tending to simeoultaneously make the problem worse for the person requiring dose increases down the road or increases in movements or both...


> if i start moving or anything else i will stop.

oops - i replied to this above.

> you have a thing for A/P. they are not as bad as u think in small dosages.

Probably some people with depression /anxiety are better off with them ... maybe you are right ... but now me anyway that's for sure ... I noticed a lot of posters here seemed to have eps and weren't psychotic or skitzophrenic also ...
