This is such a vast generalization of neuroleptics I'm floored...

They are with out much doubt among the only agents that bring life and peace to people with serious psychotic conditions. They have and still enable people with schizophrenia and other related disorders


People aren't "victims" and that does great disservice to people on this board whose suffering has been helped by APs.


As for off-label use, well that depends on the situation. I'm not going to argue that there are places that agents with less liability in AFFECTIVE disorder patients could be used first line before resorting to APs.
