So she was on them for a short time? Like a month or two? If so, that might explain why she never developed any of the side effects that happen with long-term, chronic use of these medications ("long term" meaning longer than 3-6 months).

Have you ever seen a person with severe akithesia caused by anti-psychotic drugs? It's got to be the closest thing on earth to a living hell. It develops in a very large porportion of people who take anti-psychotic drugs over a long period of time--the risk increasing exponentially with every year the person is on the medication. So, I am glad your mom is off the anti-psychotics -- probably weaned from them after they were no longer needed. They worked for her, which is great, and now she is not at risk, because she is functioning without them. That's a happy ending. Awesome.

a propagandist's statement from someone who has displayed very little knowledge.How many other medical conditions could I possibly list? Many strokes obviously are far worse, and in spite of your continual theme of arrogant, ignorant doctors who never discuss med problems with patients, your statistics are incredibly overblown. You're incredibly gullible to believe them and deceitful to try to slip them into the discussion under the cover of your self proclaimed superior knowledge. There's a Ph.D. named Roberts at Johns Hopkins, undoubtedly a prestigious university, who publishes extreme statistics about Iraq War casualties, defends them and has many supporting citations. All are working off the same agenda. Just so with yourself, your sheepskin is cut of the same cloth.
