[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 335469, member: 1963"] I switched to an older AP (Haldol) after using Zyprexa and Seroquel. I couldn't tolerate the atypicals at the doses needed to control symptoms and the side-effects were horrible: dizziness, muscle jerking, tremor, loss of muscle control in swallowing and walking. I've been on haldol about a month now and the difference is night and day. I take a small dose with plenty of room to go up if needed. The only side effect I get from the Haldol is tremor which is controlled with Cogentin and some sedation, which in my case is not a bad thing as it really helps with the anxiety. My psychiatrist actually suggested going on an older AP a few months ago, but I was reluctant due to the "reputation" of the older APs. In addition to everything else, the older APs do not increase appetite so do not contribute to weight gain. [/QUOTE]
