Probably not any help sorry but are your symptoms TD or EPS (muscle clenching, twitching, shaking etc). For EPS you might be able to take procyclidine or similar drugs and see if that helps it. Im not sure of whether taking these drugs with atypicals is ok so hopefully someone will correct me if Im wrong.> I really dont want to take antipsychotics. Even if I do have a psychotic disorder.
Sorry you have found you require antipsychotics. For me it was a bewildering and difficult thing to come to terms with. It took me several years before I could make myself take antipsychotics on any kind of a regular basis. Again probably not much help but I have been taking them for a long time now and, despite many ups and downs, these days I am very well and barely notice them anymore. Finding the right drug(s) can be difficult and there are many as well as horrible side effects. In my opinion however compared to untreated psychosis they are the lesser evil.
