I entirely disagree with the statement that a lot of people find AP's ineffective for anxiety
and ocd. Perhaps some find them ineffective but in my experience AP's can help improve anxiety that has not responded to anything else.My mother, (Bipolar 25 yrs) had only partial sucess with Lithium and depakote. After adding
AP thioridazine she felt as if a weight that had been on her shoulders for 25 years had finally lifted. AP's can reduce suicidal tendancies, they can relieve anticipatory anxiety, as well as anxiety with the slightest psychotic twinge.
Yes they do have their risks, but that does not negate the fact that for many they are effective in reducing anxiety.Linkadge
