> > Well, I'm ready to give up on Abilify because I can't stand the akathesia and increased anxiety, and I refuse to take more Klonopin just to ease those side effects. The thing is, my pdoc thinks that since I have been in the hospital before for my bipolar that I have to be on an antipsychotic. I just don't feel like just because I have been in the hopital means I need to be on certain classes of meds. I'm stable right now on lamictal and lexapro. Has anyone else had this experience from their pdoc? herpills

Friends,
When someone takes psychotropic drugs, the chemical does what it does. Some people have happen to them what the drug does in a short time, while other people have what the drug does show up in a longer time from when they start the drug. Some people do not get what other people get from the drugs. Not all people, let's say, will die suddenly from heart failure from taking the drug, while others may. But there are medical facts associated with taking, let's say, Tylonal. And there are medical facts associated with taking psychotropic drugs. The facts are published and known after years of studies of people taking psychotropic drugs. If you are taking these type of drugs, do you know what he chances are of you , let's say, gettin tardive dyskinesia or Parkinson's like disease or akethesia or sudden death or suicide thinking? I do know the chances and would like for interested people to view the following video.
