I know that docs are always saying that AAPs, as a group, have lower TD risk. That's great. I know its related to dose and length of treatment, just like with the older drugs.
What I'm wondering is...does anyone have any idea of which atypicals might be on the lower end of the TD causing scale?
I read the most frightening thing the other day. Some recent research (you can find a link to the paper on www.madinamerica.com) indicates that the atypicals aren't that much better in terms of TD than the conventional antipsychotics.
Awesome. I do find Abilify to be tolerable, though, at least with the whole Orthomolecular thing on board. I was thinking, though, that Seroquel (maybe 300ish mgs/day) might be less TD-making? They make that xr now. Then again...I hated old school seroquel, and I don't even get EPS off of Abilify.

I read that if you arnt getting EPS, then you are extremely unlikely to get TD, because the dopamine receptors arnt fully occupied (or somthing like that)

I read the original article CE also about atypicals being not much different from old school ones also. But you are doing well on abilify. Please don't rock the boat. I do the same as you question my meds all the time go down and then up and eventually always end up on the same doses. Phillipa

ones with definetly less side effect including are most with Geodon...along with it are Invega, Saphris, Fanapt, and mostly favored by docs is Latunda but it has mixedd reviews.
Hope that awnsers some questions.
