i actually find it hard to find positive studies on AP's, but i ran across it about a year ago after i talked with my pdoc who mentioned it. i dont recall where it was. if i have time i'll try to find it again.
Most of the 'positive' studies are from big pharma.i totally agree with the ate more.
what it does is affect the part of the brain that makes you feel full. so you dont totally feel satiated and eat more. i personally found that i also seemed to crave more carbs.
however, this was only once i went up to 10mg.I know many many people are anti AP. and i understand that. but jerseygall may only augment for a time and then taper off. She is needing some positive insight and was hoping to help her.
i'm sorry you have had previous bad results.
though there is the possibility of TD with AP, it is significantly lower with the 'newer' atypical AP's like zyprexa.
and in my experience and personal researching i dont think there is ANY psych drug made that i would easily hand out. they all have reported terrible side effects many sounding worse than what they are helping. however, at some point we need to make decisions, and hopefully right ones.
Those of us that are more difficult to treat will ourselves and our docs make many, many wrong ones. Hopefully none of them will do permanent damage. But all drugs do run that risk.I wish you the best and hope that you have found something that works great for you.
Best wishes
