thank you for posting this link- I started reading some of the articles and just feeled depressed at the lack of effective treatment for bipolar depression. I am very against prolonged treatment with APs- particularly when no psychotic symptoms are present, these articles seem to support that view.

>>Keep in mind most side effects are encountered at regular dosing.
If you're not psychotic, you're not going to get regulr dosing.
I'm about to take an AP for my social anxiety, even though Klonopin works. Well, ordinarily i'd just run around and find a new doc, but I'm riding it out, I think I'll be pleasantly surprised- it's worth the shot, considering an AP gives me a chance at a possible remission, whereas Klonopin never could. Plus, it also gives me a shot at making me care about doing school work, a thing I never have ever cared about even with Adderall or Desoxyn. Plus, I might even talk more.
This is the end of the thread.
