Hi Judy -
I have primary Social Anxiety Disorder, and never really was in need of an A/P. We tried low dose amisulpride due to a reported anti-dysthymic, anti-social phobia effect which is maybe preferiantelly effective for males. Well - it was all of those things probably, but also quite powerfully and rapidly gave me acute dystonic reactions and then chronic movements...
I went off medicines to help evaluate the movements which were probably masked quite a bit by Klonopin. Now I am resuming Klonopin again after getting movement dx. Also resumed very low Nardil. Will be adjusting next weeks I'm sure...
If you have time - what med / duration / symtpoms did you get from the low dose a/p. Which a/p was it? (sorry the flurry of questions - I just have been amazed how much of this I see here - Dr's I talk to are still afraid to discuss much and/or are unaware of problem I think).
Chad
> i'm another one who feels APs have no place in treatment except for people experiencing psychosis (and i also got EPS and TD from low dose atypicals- and that was for psychotic manic episodes). so if a benzo doesn't help your agitation, did you try raising the dose, another benzo, etc? take care, judy
