Meds = side effects: Almost all medications that are prescribed have some potential of side effects in an individual. Most physicians prescribing anti-psychotics therefore try to minimize risk ofthese compared to benefits. One strategy for doing this is to start low and go slowly up on the dose while looking out for side effects.Consult with your doctor about which medicine woks best for you and give the process time.

Antipsychotic: withdrawal is hardly ever brought up when new agents hit the market, but one sees it with all the atypicals. Some. lets say, are worse than others but the symptoms typically abate within a week or so. I'm going to research this a bit further over the weekend, This is a great question.
