Yeah, the author of "Mad in America" writes about neuroleptic dosing in a couple chapters.

Apparently, docs in France used around 100mgs/day Thorazine, docs in the UK up to 300mgs/day, and docs in the US...sometimes a couple grams, although there was huge variation between patients and docs. Docs in the US were more inclined to see evidence of Parkinson's as a biological indicator of "successful" therapy, whereas it seems that European docs were really just looking to calm people down and get them to do talk therapy, vocational rehab, or just be quiet.
