Hi Scott,
>I have always liked perphenazine and fluphenazine, but there are so many others, it is hard to create a list of favorites.
I'd favour (favor!?) haloperidol over perphenazine or fluphenazine. It's a very thoroughly studied drug. IMO, the low dose formulations are particularly useful eg. 0.5mg capsules, 1.5mg tablets.
Due to its potency, haloperidol is a drug which needs to be *very* carefully titrated. In practice, this usually hasn't happened!
Kind regards
~Ed
