I mean, its one thing when they're very careful with the dosage of perphenazine (or other old-school AP); its quite another when you have some hospital shrink who just drugs people up with the cheapest available drug (yes, it happened to me).
I think a lot of the "conventional" neuroleptics would probably have a much better reputation if docs had given them in small tranquilizing doses back in the day instead of dosing all the way up to EPS/Parkinson's as a matter or routine.
That said: I've been on what I think was relatively low-dose Haldol, along with Ativan and Benadryl (hospital situation, not my idea). When I got switched over to Risperdal the next day, I immediately felt somewhat better...when I got switched over to Abilify, I felt even better.
