Scott,
Thanks for the refresher course re: zpiprasidone's mode of action. My university consultant pDoc recommended eighteen months ago that I try it as soon as it became available. Needless to say, that has seemed like a very long time. Ironically, today was the day for my long awaited appt. with him. After driving ninety miles in blowing snow, I found I-70 to be closed through the Rockies, so had to return home. Olanzapine gives me a lead-dead feeling at tiny doses and actually increses my depression. Do you know if ziprasidone is different enough in it's chemical structure to not cause that side effect? I was concerned about NMS. Tardive dyskinesia is also a concern since I've developed it even with small doses of neuroleptics. Respiradone or olanzapine may have been the culprits. There were so many questions I wanted to ask Dr. Dubovsky, so since I couldn't see him I'm asking you:)!
Please get to feeling better soon. It's been so long since I've been able to log onto babble.Blessings,
Chris A.
