That is so true. It would be very helpful if pdocs actually tried a range a psych drugs to find out how they make them feel. If they are telling you that Risperdal only causes mild side effects (or whatever), let them try a 6mg tablet are see how it makes them feel. There was a very interesting study where a group of pdocs were given a moderate dose of droperidol, a neuroleptic. Almost all of them found it extremely unpleasant, and some had to be admitted to a psych ward for treatment after receiving a single dose. One pdoc became profoundly suicidal.
