While psychopharmaceuticals have been very helpful in treating patients they still leave a lot to be desired. All new psychiatric drugs will be welcome and will be used unless they prove to be less effective than an older drug. There is a new one (to be released soon) that may not be any better than what already exists, however, older products cause a significant weight gain and patients discontinue the drug because they object to this side effect. The new one does not cause weight gain, consequently, patients are more apt to stay on the drug. This psychiatrist will have to review his opinion of the drugs he is currently using for bi-polar disorders and schizophrenia.
