Back in the mid 70's, I was on every type of anti psychotic med. you could think of. I wasn't hooked on them. I don't see how you could be, but they can present a multitude of very unpleasant side effects that can be fatal. True, if you go cold turkey you can throw yourself into withdrawal symptoms, but otherwise you get through it. I did that when I got tired of living off those same side effects. I went cold turkey. The drs. didn't like it, but I was fed up with having cement in my brain, 40 lbs. heavier, and not giving a damn what was going on around me.
I wasn't any better for it. The depression was still there.
Now it's 30 some odd years later and I finally found relief in the newbies of today. Plus, the right diagnosis......gee, only took them 30 years to find it,too!!!!
