I agree was well.
I have been prescribed an AP -- Zyprexa -- but I have not started taking it. I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow, and I am going to tell her, no AP's for me, not now. Why? Because I don't feel it's necessary at this point. Do I fear TD? Sure. But I fear more the fact that there are no documented studies on the long-term efficacy of the medication. Because I'm not manic, and only obsessive, they are prescribing it in a long-term way. I do not like being a human guinea pig, which I feel a lot of us are.
Anyhow, it's frightening to read such horrible stories about TD on this board -- and makes me question what otherwise might be a good drug (if not now, later). I just want facts, not anecdotes, you know? People like me are easily dissauded my hyperbole (I've obsessive afterall).
