well, except for geodon, by and large i had better luck with the typicals--and that sure as hell isn`t saying too much.
haldol--0.5mg qhs, dystonia unresponsive to cogentin or artane...
orap--i can`t remember the dose, but same as haldol otherwise
prolixin--akithisia and depression, no change in tics or compulsions, no relief from cogentin...
inapsine--see above; simultaneous akithisia and dystonia is as close to hell as i can imagine
mellaril--akithisia and paradoxical hypomania
besides that, all i really have to add is that phenothiazines induce tryptophan hydroxylase and i have a friend who had good results from adding a low dose of stelazine qhs to elavil/sinequan combo he wasn`t responding to.
