Is it just that you don't want to be viewed as someone with a serious mental illness? Your avoidance of an entire class of drugs due to this psychological conditioning could be excluding you from highly effective treatments. Give it a fair trial before you condemn it.

APs pose a risk of brain atrophy. Metabolic syndrome. Many other nasty side effects. They are harsh drugs that should be used for serious conditions only, when the outcomes outweight the side effects.
