Hi Scott
>Is it your guess that this is the result of the illness or of a neuroleptic-facilitated cognitive deficit?
I think it is the result of his illness.
>Is this the fault of the drug or the doctor?
The doctor.
What concerns me is that drugs with a high incidence of side effects (eg. depots) are being given to patients who may not be capable of reporting or expressing their side effects to the prescriber. In some cases, continued administration of medication results despite serious side effects.
>In fact, I would appreciate it if you would pay for my next refill of Abilify.
I'm sure :) They certainly make a huge profit on the atypicals.
