> My doc reccomended Geodon for my anxiety, and I was wondering if anyone here had much success with this or other APs. My anxiety is typically low level, until something sets me off (usually related to my self esteem / BDD). If I have an anxiety attack, I plunge into a black panicky depression that often lasts for days. (This can be interuppted with Klonopin). I also have times of hypomania. These mood swings are probably not significant enough to be bipolar, but overall, I tend to jump back and forth without much in between.

APs are a last resort. At medium to high doses some people suggest they are worse than a frontal lobotomy, due to the vegetative state of mind induced (dose related compares to lobotomy), progressive degeneration of every organ in your body including your brain, a chance of getting diabetes, heart disease, and a condition almost identical to AIDS. also the chance of sudden death increases in line with dose due to elongation of qt interval. + risk of suicide goes up 20 fold and life expectancy falls by 25 years.

APs are typically used on the elderly, the retarded, the criminals, and the mentally ill.

at a low minimally toxic dose these drugs can be a lifeline, it is about informed consent (if you are lucky), and I would only take them by choice as a last resort.
