I've tried a dose like that, and the effects are scarcely dramatic. It seemed to cause restless legs.

Brain shrinkage is irrelevant if it doesn't have any symptoms. Many people have used antipsychotics for much longer and at higher doses, and there have been no reports (AFAIK) of symptomatic brain shrinkage.
