now that I'm on a good dose w/other meds to help out, I see that modern psychiatry can help out..that said, I think alot of times the neuroleptics are over-used. I think my prob is seeing kids given serqoeul (for instance) for behavioral problems, or people being given antipsychotics for anxiety when a cheaper (and safer) BZD would do the trick at least as well. These are still serious drugs (although they beat the safety record of Haldol, that's for sure), so I just want shrinks to be more selective in how they use them...also, antipsychotic polypharmacy (like Geodon+Zyprexa, etc.) freaks me out; I don't understand why so many people seem to be on these expensive and confusing combos.
