I agree with some of the above posters.
I don't think that blanket statements like "antipsychotics rule" or antipsychotics suck" is entirely accurate.
They are a class of medications that work for some. They do have risks, and taken into perspective they *may* have more long term risks than other psychiatric medications. I too have experienced rebound psychosis, and that is no fun.
Antipssychotics need to be taken seriously. I suppose it might be an intrinsic effect of an antiparanoid drug, than one becomes less paranoid about the hazards of the drug itself.
