in general there are low doses and high doses for aps, like for example with ect they can set the voltage/current at low levels, or turn up the voltage/current. single one off low doses doesn't do much harm, but get to complete dopamine blockade and its pure eps from there, up higher nms and death. a single large dose is capable of frontal lobotomy effects. what the level for triggering eps in an individual differs from person to person.
akathisia is usually from blocking/damaging the cholinergic system such as occurs in alzeihmers, also from organic pesticides.
at low levels they may help some people with some symptoms, at high doses well, you figure it out.
there is no difference between atypical and typical, same receptors same effect, lower doses and voila an atypical drug with less side effects. try chlorpromazine at 0.5mg or haldol at 0.0005mg hey presto we just made a new atypical.
