Wow... the mother of this boy really paints a vivid portrait of mental illness from a viewpoint which truly breaks ones heart. I loved the metaphor of Geodon as Abilify's masonic, hulking chemical cousin... pretty much what I always pictured when I heard its name. I, too, was once prescribed many of the "atypics"... Zyprexa made me feel as if I were tripping on acid. Luckily, I decided quickly I didn't want to go through life as the missing member of Pink Floyd...I discontinued it after a week. It breaks my heart that adolescents are prescribed these drugs so casually... it's criminal, really.
