I have a similar med history to your wife (even down to the recommendations for ECT which I refused). I also developed EPS from APs and get concerned when I see it prescribed for anything but psychotic states. I imagine it's all perspective- if people don't develop the type of symptoms I (and your wife) did, they find APs a helpful class of drugs. It took several pdocs to find one who didn't put me on a 'cocktail' of 6 or more meds. I'm glad you were able to find a doc that isn't a med pusher, and actually spends the time to discuss side-effects of different meds. Best of luck to your wife- judy
