ETA on a new Antipsychotic

When Pharma realises that we are human beings is the day we see good AP treatments.

Well said! I agree completely. were the only population of sick people who are forced to take medications like this. Its like chemo therapy. While some of the other drugs are bad I think aps are some of the cruelest drugs out there when you take into account the EPS symptoms like bad akithesia. Thats just terrible

for example, Im on Latuda. 40 mg. thats not that high of a dose but I can barely function. I have muscle tics and what I think is the beginning of TD not to mention the weight gain and other assorted physical problems that come along with that. We all know the side effects, I just can’t help but wonder how much better our lives could be if they actually found ones that did their job and didn’t interfere with all the other important parts of the brain. I hate when therapists say that its just like Diabetes. Insulin does not have side effects like atypicals
