I realize, but one's brain is a very complex thing. You need to ask yourself how you are going to approach such a situation when safety data is nonexistant or withheald.
If this was the 70's one could keep taking their Thorazine and hope for the best. Perhaps people taking that medicine back then had a hunch too, that it may be doing strange things. I wouldn't ingore a hunch just because it is not scientific.
But I guess if you were being treated for psychosis and you became paranoid that the medicine was damaging your brain, you would have to increase the dose to overcome *that* piece of paranoia.
Its just like antidepressants and pregnancy. Just because the data was not there 10 years ago doesn't mean that the drugs didn't still increase the risk of complications to offspring.
