> I'm not sure if risperdal was a risk for TD. When I was on it I didn't get any shakes or twitches. On the other had it was not very effective for my real simptoms. Zyprexa is probbably the most effective AP I ever took, it had no TD and I've been taking it for 11 years. The only undesirable effect it had was the weight gain, and it may have given me Diabetes. Not sure about the diabettes because it has gone away and I still take the same dose. I was first diagnosed with diabettes when I started geodon and had gone low on the zyprexa. I was never diagnoses when I took it before the geodon. Geodon gave me realy bad blured vision which increased with dose, I was on a very high dose of it, and it also didn't do much for my paranoia. Abilify did the oposite for my diabetes, it gave me realy low blood sugars so I was eating sugar all the time so I would not pass out. I found that when I would walk to the bathroom I would almost pass out in the short distance. Abilify also gave me realy bad TD, I could not hold my hands still enough to do sodering at work and ultimatly lost my job because of the abilify. Perphenazine which I started about 2-3 years ago is the best AP I have tried other than zyprexa. It give me a little tD, shaky hands, but no weight gain or diabettes. It also controls rapid thought, and helps me think clearly. So those are my two favorite AP, zyprexa and perphenazine(the Sandoz version of generic)(didn't like the other generic and have not tried the brand). Not sure of others I took in hospital, but one of them gave me NMS, where I could not stop swallowing. My suspision it that it may have me haldol. But I don't realy have any records to look at.
* People seem to really like Zyprexa. Do you remember what dose of Zyprexa you took? I'm terrified of Zyprexa weight gain. Seroquel presents the same fear, but I'm on a relatively low dose at 150mg.
*How about your Risperdal dose?
* Appreciate the feedback on Geodon & Abilify. Seems Geodon is really unpopular.
* Never heard of the perphenazine before - will check it out.Thanks for you input!
