> Cam,
Atypical antipsychotics as stop gaps until the ADs kick in? Since the antipsychotics are being used at low doses, do they act differently than they do at their normal doses. If so, could you describe how they act at the low doses.
By the way, Amisulpride is an atypical antipsychotic that is used at large doses for schizophrenia but at low doses it acts very differently and is used for depression and other things. There is post in Dr Bob's tips from a psychiatrist who uses antipsychotics in small doses to treat the fatigue of chronic fatigue syndrome!
Best wishes,
AndrewB
