I was on loxapine and recommend it. It's an early atypical. It metabolizes into an antidepressant (amoxapine) so you get double duty. It has a huge amount to go up and I was just reaching the dose my pdoc wanted me on when I developed dystonias. But that's rare and from the little time I was on I could tell that it ws going to help me stabilize.

As I understand it, the one big concern with the older AP's was tardive dyskinesia. But the thing is, TD usually happens when high doses have been used for a long time (years). Way back when, people were prescribed doses that were much higher than were necessary.
It seems to me, from my own experience and from what I hear from other patients, that the atypicals cause so many problems. If I can go with an older AP, I will.
