I'm not sure if I was on it concerto with an SSRI, I think I probably was -- everything on the D2 occupation scale of AP agents caused akathisia except for Zyprexa and Seroquel.

Zyprexa caused potentially permanent dystonia in the legs and arms, though I do still try to hike and my weight probably has something to do with it too. Rare. Very rare.

Anyway that's beside the point, Abilify disappointed me because it had me writhing on the floor literally just like Geodon, and I needed, well it was still available at the time -- why do they remove a perfectly good antiparkinsonian, Akineton (biperiden) -- now it would be Artane (Cogentin really gives me halo vision). Anyhow.


But they say, your miles may vary. For some, it may be the drug of choice. I just had hopes for the D2 pushme-pullyou partial agonism-antagonism. It didn't quite turn out that way.
