In reply to Atypical antipsychotics as prophylaxis?, posted by tygereyes on March 29, 2006, at 22:03:24
Way too risky. As a longtime AP user, I know. I could go on for several long paragraphs telling you of the odd bizarre things APs can cause over time, not mention the aggravationi and kindling of the original condition they were meant to treat.
Two serious mixed mania episodes, more severe depression episodes than I can remember, and one depression with psychotic features episode...all while on prophylactic use of zyprexa. I guess the prophylactic thing didn't work very well. With the benefit of hindsight, the AP actually contributed and made things a lot worse in the long run, though better in the very short run.
