Hi Jacj,
Breggins views are very extreme. Not everyone is damaged by APs by any means. Breggin constantly attacks psychiatric drugs but he doesn't provide us with any evidence of the efficacy of the treatments which he suggests as an alternative. He is 'on a mission' to demonstrate the toxicity of all psych drugs.
I very much doubt that you have been damaged by taking Zyprexa etc. It is much less likely to cause TD than older APs like Haldol. I as said before, if you don't have TD now- you never will do!
Dysphoria is a term which refers to mental distress- negative emotions such as feeling depressed, anxious or irritable.
