> Yep, I know, and I plan on never taking one of those again. It's a thing with me and I don't want to upset others that may need these drugs by going into the details.
Gotchya, I feel the same way about neuroleptics/antipsychotics. It's not the stigma that comes with the name, it's the potential health risks/side effects. I would not be opposed to using zyprexa in the short term for mania, I just would want to do everything I could to get off of it and never use it again. I don't think I am one that needs these types of drugs all the time. I am sure you may be the same and feel the same.
Sorry, I was not sure if you were going to stay on Seroquel. Maybe I didn't read your posts carefully enough. My bad. Yeah if you can get stable on safer meds, I am totally for that for anyone.
I understand you not wanting to upset anyone that takes drugs like Zyprexa and Seroquel. I wouldn't want to either. If it works for them, and they have a condition that requires it, then I totally understand why these drugs are being used, especially in the case of the most severe bipolar and psychotic disorders.
Good luck Tony, I'm assuming that is your name.
