I'd go so far as to say that if your doctor doesn't THOROUGHLY take the time to explain why you're on that cocktail, go run for another one. My experience with psychopharmacologists is that they have 15-20 minutes for you, they practice no psychiatry, and they work on "trial and error." Meanwhile, as the errors occur, you pay for the negative side effects of the cocktails of drugs, while they think of what else to try.

My wife was on provigil, lamictal, zyprexa, prozac, and klonopin. They nearly did away with her, and she ended up with akathisia, dyskinesia, and EPS symptoms. There's a book by the chief of the clinic on involuntary movements of the University of Miami that lists all the diagnoses of these conditions that soon take over as the main cause of distress over depression, or whatever you had to begin with.

All antipsychotics, even the atypical ones, are known to cause involuntary movements, and some become irreversible if untreated or unprevented.

If you don't have a condition specified as bipolar, schizoid, or schizophrenia, I would question very severely why you're taking lamictal, Seroquel, etc.

Best to you,

Nickm
