Vicc,
I had thought that we had agree to end further discussion on this subject but you have asked me a specific question and that is to furnish you with documentation on the efficacy of antipsychotic treatment in RSD.
Vicc, I apologise but I did not intend to insinuate that I had any other than anecdotal evidence from several patients with whom I share a support group and the fact that it would be therefore documented in their case histories that they indeed were finding it beneficial without any troubling side effects.
Of course if it was me that was being prescribed these drugs then I would naturally go to every length to be sure that I had scoured the internet for medical documentation and statistics.
I would also presume this would also apply to the majority of the members of this forum whom I am sure would also seek all the necessary information before making an informed decision regarding taking a medication to which there maybe a side effect (although which drug doesn't have this capability
In reference to what you said in another post, I was wondering by what criteria are we to establish whether we are in fact "victims of an illegal human experiment and of criminal negligence" or simply the patient of a physician who has researched a particular drug sufficiently enough to want to prescribe their patient a medication because it just may help. I believe that whilst it is the responsibilty of the doctor to inform the patient of such, this does not absolve the patient of responsibilty to make certain they are informed.
As you have asked me if I can provide documentation of it's efficacy then I was wondering if you could also provide documentation as to the statistics of catastrophic side effects to antipsychotics in the treatment of RSD.
I am sure if everyone knew how high the probability was then it would make the decision as to whether to try it much easier.
Regards Tayla
