>What do these drugs feels like when you're not
>psychotic? Do they feel like antihistamines
< snip >Yeah, my experience is that they feel like *seriously* sedating antihistamines. I can't handle antihistamines. Even Zyrtec knocks me on my butt. I took half a Zyprexia once and slept for two days straight. I hate neuroleptics. I think it is nauseating that doctors would rather risk a permanent movement disorder (e.g. permanant, irrevokable brain damage) over a dependence to benzos. The whole puritanical belief that if it feels "good" it's bad is illogical. You can thank that philosophy for the unavailability of amineptine for depression. If it doesn't make you feel *wretched* you can bet it won't be allowed as an antidepressant. Wow, rant rant rant...
