spend more time on this--I have lived with this for so long perhaps I am blind to the other side. I really do not want to spend more time researching it or debating it. I am confident that science and the lives of 100s of thousands are on my side. I know this is an unfair tactic but I need to move on. Like you, I am not sure whether the newer atypicals are better for many but I know for a fact that almost 1/3 of persons with schizophrenia who never responded to any treatment now have a realistic chance of improving. If you wish, start researching the PET studies done before and after serious periods of decompensation. Or better yet go back and look at the mortality and morbidity statistics for people with schizophrenia who were alive 50-70 years ago before any of the major antipsychotics. I would guess that most were dead by their mid fifties and/or had such overwhelming cognitive limitations that they were essentially unable to function. People with schizophrenia still have a much shorter life span than others but I bet it sure is longer than before. Sorry for aborting the debate because it is worth having. Taking the dog for a short run and then popcorn and a DVD. fca
