Doubt a troll so much as someone looking for self-medication advice.
 
See, the problem is, OPD's answer was actually really insightful beyond just being a skillful, smart ass comment.

Somehow I associate the citrussy tang of the orange with the relative affinity of NE receptors of Abilify vs Risperdal, while the papery peel of the apple alludes to the alpha-2 blockade of Risperdal over Abilify...

I could go on all night, literally ad nauseam 😉

LOL, Who says that you didn't already inspire loud groans? 😉

No really, thank you, and goodbye troll.

he/she may be a troll(heck it appears they were), but the initial question was legitimate, and really didn't fall under the scope of seeking personal medical advice in any way.

And for all those who say "well you could just look that up somewhere else online because I'm not going to do your homework for you"......really, you could say that of just about anything. I mean at least 65% of the questions in this forum *could* probably be found fairly easily somewhere else as well.
 
We have discussed in other threads the "anatomy of a medical advice question," but suffice it to say the form of the question suggests that the questioner was asking for medical advice. It was a) someone new to the forum, asking b) a very specific question which was c) far below the level of knowledge of a clinical medical student, d) with the syntactical style of someone with far less education than is required to be on this forum. They also had the gall to smart off at a moderator of the forum.

A medical student would have asked for an antipsychotic conversion chart. Or they would have asked at least a more sophisticated question.

1) I really think people looking for medical advice frequent other websites much more often. Also, look at the nature of the question......it's not exactly a drug seeking question. So if it's not a drug seeking person, what would be the motivation to come on this forum and not one of the more mainstream forums that could answer that question much easier/faster?

2) I think you underestimate the apathy some med students have towards their psych rotation. And yes I love psych and Im going to do psych and all, but when I was on say....my surgery rotation...Im sure I had questions even more basic wrt surgery t that I didn't know and I would have had no problem posting them to a surgery forum.

Basically, I just didn't see the question as out of line. Can one look it up easily? Sure.........

does it deserve an rude response? No....just my opinion of course.

but as I said earlier, one could look up(admittedly they would have to work a little harder) most of the questions posed in this forum.....
 
But then, is there really and equivalence? In the atypicals, the variance between response to different medications really makes the question meaningless.

Yes, we have seen the receptor affinity pie charts, but that really is the closest we get. Clinically, the comparison is meaningless.

Which was exactly why I was dismissive in my initial response.
What is meant by equivalence? By "ratio"? On one hand, an apple=an orange as a serving of fruit, but they are rather different in ascorbic acid content...
Perhaps the poster deserves better as an answer, but we deserve better from a first post than a poorly worded question from someone who hasn't bothered to introduce themselves.

You are just full of anger. Go workout or something, instead of trying to degrade other people like myself.

I have already done research on the subject at hand, and have already looked up antipsychotic conversion charts online, but they seem to contradict themselves. I just wanted to get another source of information with the criteria that I am looking for. Do not judge other people and learn how to be mindful, you satanist.

So stop trying to flame me. You are an angry person, who probably was born smart already, and did not have to do any work at all in order to achieve your level of intelligence. You have probably never fasted in your life--and don't try to respond with a comment such as "wow, this person fasts? He is probably mentally ill", or some other assanine comment. In fact, do not respond at all to what I have said; just sit there and take it all in, you selfish son of a bitch.

well looks like I was wrong and the OP didn't deserve a better answer 🙂
