>think is the main benefit over geodon, which can cause agitation, insomnia, etc.
My last pdoc consulted an expert on Geodon who had done research on the drug from NYC and his advice was to push the dose if it doesn't control the agitation, improve mood, stabilize, etc. He said people don't use the drug at high enough doseages. In theory, I suppose that may increase the risk of TD, but then the result of untreated mental illness is a certainty. Just thought I'd mention this for anyone who might benefit from it...
