> I seem to recall reading somewhere that 2+ antipsychotics can=increased side effects w/o having an increase in desired effects. Plus, with aytpicals, you're looking at extremely high drug acquisition costs.
I have not found this to be true among the people I know who take two APs. In fact, combining an AAP with a first generation AP sometimes produces outstanding results when treating schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
Are there any side effects in particular that you feel are increased by the addition of a second AP?
