A member asked:
What are some examples of some of the safer antipsychotic medications for a lifetime of treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antipsychotic: Different medications fit different patients and their symptoms. All anti-psychotic medications have side effects but most importantly they may not be equally effective for you. Sometimes, you may need to go on a medication with more side effects just to get you to feel better. This should be talked over with your psychiatrist.
