I've taken the latter a few times, but not on a long-term basis and those were the atypical antipsychotics, which again, are less likely to have this side effect. My pdoc has been working with me since December 1994 except when I was in grad school because I was out of state. However, even while my pdoc has treated me, I've worked with other pdocs during partial hospitalizations, and some of those experiences have not been positive. I'm very lucky to have the pdoc that I do. He's well-respected in his field and is a former president of both the Illinois Psychiatric Association and Chicago Medical Association. I'm in good hands. :) That’s a side effect of the older antidepressants, which I’ve never taken, and of antipsychotics.

I hope you have a really good psychiatrist. :) I just hope you don’t get Tardive dyskinesia with all those antidepressants and antipsychotics you’re taking.

And yeah, it could all change tomorrow but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't. ;) @Sheri, indeed!
