I'm sorry if this isn't on topic but I just wanted to say, I give you a lot of credit, I've seen your posts over the years and *even if* I had your symptom profile (which includes psychosis no?) I am not sure I could bring myself to take *any* antidopaminergic drugs.
Apparently there are some (perhaps *truly*) antipsychotic drugs in the pipeline which don't touch dopamine and instead hit glutamate receptors.
Hopefully there will be much better treatments for psychosis in the future that don't work by inducing a kind of chemical parkinsons.
In the meantime, your concern is well-founded. I truly hope someday I don't see people walking around obese, with diabetes, shaking because they are treating their disorder...
