hey...I just did a paper on mental health treatment, and I used the example of rauwolfia and reserpine.
I had this david healy article...apparently, the "depression" was more akathisia, and it responded to stimulants (which were handed out like candy back then). Part of the problem is that rauwolfia wasn't something they could get "me too" drugs out of, so...yeah...phenothiazines won the day.
I seem to recall reading about it being an option besides clozapine. I mean, if I needed AP and demonstrated treatment resistance, I'd take reserpine over clozapine, personally.
