I would never take amoxapine that is a tricyclic with a built in old style anti-psychotic...you are asking for TD or EPS with that drug.>
> I don't know what happened in his practice or personal life that made him so cautious, I know he had many psychotic patients on them, but it has left me with a real aversion to APs and a healthy respect for the possibility of TD and EPS.Maybe he has seen the neurological damage done by anti-psychotics and simply doesnt want you to experience that sort of thing.
