Hi Ed.
> I know someone on Clopixol depot (zuclopentixol). Even though he has little awareness of most things (!),Can you be more specific in your description? Is it your guess that this is the result of the illness or of a neuroleptic-facilitated cognitive deficit?
> he does know that the depot makes him feel very restless. Given his mental state, it seems that his complaints about Clopixol have been completely ignored.
Is this the fault of the drug or the doctor?
Just as people have untoward reactions to antidepressants that are wrong for them, so, too, can this be said of neuroleptics.
Lots of drugs suck. I wasn't too happy with Prolixin when I was injected with it. Zyprexa, on the other hand, was wonderful as an anti-manic. It resolved the mania and cleared up my thinking. I was far from being a walking zombie. You could pay me to take a neuroleptic. In fact, I would appreciate it if you would pay for my next refill of Abilify.
> This is something that worries me.
Generalizations worry me.
