Numbing up, TD, cognitive impairment and other side effects (not universal especially if carefully monitored)are miserable and probably are a form of prison. Please take time to seriously think about the alternatives--florid hallucinations, devastating delusions, self mutilation, total social isolation etc are not particularly desirable. I spent a lot of time with people with schizophrenia when drugs were brand new--a ward with 30 active delusional and or hallucinating patients is bedlam and not comforting for anyone--particularly the patients. TD is awful, and I mean awful--but I ask you to compare it to what persons experienced before the APs. ECTs that did not work, insulin therapy which did not work, rapid progressive organic brain damage, hours/days in isolation rooms. One can say that we should have spent enough so the institutions were humane and sensitive. Couldn't happen and wouldn't happen. Set aside politics and limited resources there is noting humane or caring about living with florid schizophrenia. You have to be tired of an old man's ranting.. Thanks Again
