Dose really does matter, though. Many substances have additional manners of working as the dosage is increased beyond a certain point. This is to say that antipsychotics are usually given in much lower doses to people with bipolar, as opposed to schizophrenia. In addition, there are antipsychotics approved for bipolar depression, including Seroquel, that dont act very much on the D2 receptor, which is the action that is largely responsible for feeling overly treated and tranquilized.
It takes a large dose to cause tardive dyskinesia, matter of fact. Furthermore, it is this D2 blockage of high dose antipsychotics that link to that possible side effect, mostly the first generation (typical) ones.
As I pointed out in another thread, a medication that gets one high is the wrong kind and/or dosage of the given medication.
The label has a terribly negative connotation. Just as the labels for mental illness.
