> I agree about anti-psychotics. They scare me to death. I wonder, though, why do you consider Zyprexa and Seroquel safer than Abilify?
I'm not sure, nothing objective. I guess maybe zyprexa and seroquel are very commonly used but for some reason abilify hasn't taken on the same popularity. Maybe just my imagination. I was on zyprexa a long time and I have also been on seroquel. But I have not tried abilify. So there is some built-in obvious bias there.
In general I shy away from dopamine blockers, despite that I was on zyprexa a long time. Just an unexplainable gut feeling. I think the risks and complications of longterm usage are more varied, more widespread, and more profound than with serotonergic or noradrenergic meds.
