In reply to Miratzapine vs atypicals in neurotic disorders, posted by jono_in_adelaide on October 3, 2012, at 18:00:54
atypicals are used off label (at least here in the US) waaaaaay too often, when there are less expen$ive, less noxious alternatives. BuSpar, vistaril, benzos, remeron, gabapentin, so on and so forth...
If it was really just getting results fast, not Big Pharma pushing, then we'd see lots of low-dose perphenazine and maybe some other typical Rxs (loxapine, maybe?). But its pretty much trendy to use atypicals for...everything. I read one article for shrinks comparing them to broad spectrum antibiotics. Can you imagine?
