> I think with a lot of neuroleptics low-doses tend to speed up reaction time a little bit--even haldol does this--which would indicate some sort of dopamine agonism and possible antidepressant effect. With Abilify, which is very high potency (@ 30mgs/day, 90+% of D2 receptors are occupied--if it weren't for the partial agonism, that would cause major EPS),
Oh I beg to differ on the major EPS part... Abilify causes just about the same amount of akathisia as Geodon does in me, unfortunately. I was hoping for something different. But then I have an affective disorder.
