It's pretty easy to spot because it looks so unnatural. I can tell there are a few people taking APs round my way from the peculiar walk they have. In the early days doctors would deliberately titrate the dose until EPS appeared as they thought this was necessary for the drugs to be effective, so I would think the claims of this article would have been suspect at the time. Having said that, I remember reading in the archives where one poster as late as 2001 claimed movement disorders were a byproduct of the psychotic process. She claimed to have found evidence that psychosis itself was neurotoxic (and therefore brain damage was caused by psychosis itself and not the neuroleptic drugs). I thought it was a bit of wishful thinking at the time. From what I remember, that particular poster was fond of taking Thioridazine as a sleep aid, for reasons known unto herself... Enough said?
