Hi -
My cat was diagnosed with an illness and placed on medication (not an AP, but it is a drug used in humans) a few months ago. Fortunately, I found a great yahoo group early on that's been a tremendous help. I really don't know what I would have done without them. You may want to look around some of the cat groups, there may be one that can help you. Good luck with your little beast!
> I was just wondering:
> Has any research been conducted to determine the long-term health effects of psychotropic medicines in cats? My cat has been prescribed a phenothiazine (AP) for neurosis and occasional feline agression. I wouldn't touch a drug like that myself like that for a million dollars and don't want to give it to my little beast. (I'd rather he got a little neurotic and peed in the wrong place here and there rather than subjecting him to the possibility of neuroleptic malignancy syndrome etc.)
