i dunno man. rexulti is -very- new, there's only limited data on it. i think its the one that goes for the D3 receptors...unless that's vraylar...
sorry. :-( if it works and you've got insurance coverage, I guess stick with it (?). do you need an antipsychotic? i mean...lots of people are given the tranquilizers who could do without them, possibly. maybe. its gotten worse w/ the 'atypicals'...now and everybody and their mama is on one.
have you had an AIMS evaluation? i think nurses can do them, too. not to scare you or anything, but the neuroleptics cause TD (obviously), but they also suppress the movements, at least for a while...
which is 1 reason why once TD is formally diagnosed, people are stuck with it. well...that and slack psych pros.
sorry. with TD, the risk goes up with cumulative exposure. so, your lifetime exposure to neuroleptics, old and new, adds up, and that plays a big role in who does and does not develop TD. low doses should = lower risk, but there's lots of unknown factors that come into play, too.
not trying to be bummer bob. i take loads of antioxidants w/ my neuroleptic, and so far, so good...0 eps, 0 td, even the dysphoric 'blah' feeling is a lot better. just thought id mention that.
