hi. tranquilizers/neuroleptics can be helpful on a prn basis. im not a big fan of zyprexa, just because of the metabolic stuff, plus it gave me bad akathisia.
maybe a sedative and a tranquilizer? like...ativan+perphenazine, gabapentin (or lyrica)+a bit of risperidone? I dunno. especially when using just on an as-needed basis, adding in a sedative can mean a lower dose of the tranquilizer, which=less dysphoria, cognitive issues, eps, akathisia, etc.
I would imagine that as-needed neuroleptics would need to be more moderate to high potency. low potency agents (thorazine, seroquel) would be intensely sedating, and dysphoria is still a potential issue.
a former poster here uses/used abilfy, as needed. I seem to to recall a benzodiazepine in the mix, also. abilify is now generic, thank goodness.
