Hi Ace,
I read your post about TD. It is good that you are learning about the problems with APs. Sometimes I forget that everyone here doesn't know about these things. Tardive dykinesia and dystonia are definite risks--but they are risks worth taking when the problems are severe or disabling.
I take an AP for psychosis--this means I take a much higher dose than those typically used for anxiety or depression. The AP does not help with anxiety (OCD) or depression, so I take Celexa but it doesn't work 100%. It stops the suicidal thoughts but that's about all it does. I really don't know what to do about the obsessive thoughts; currently I am simply waiting it out, hoping that they will go away one of these days. I may attempt therapy one of these months. Medications help a lot but they aren't perfect.
