ed,
haloperidol? -Did you tell him about haloperidols potent aka. extr.-pyr. sideeffects?
I had a teacher in highschool with definite extr.-pyr. sideeffects (maybe forever). For my collegues very funny to see these attacks. They did not understand. Spent his holidays in psychiatric clinic and told us very lucky of "new" treatment methods of changing serotonin amount between synapsescky.
But anyway as a teacher he knew a lot about literature and he was fair at the exams.
Very interesting docs prescribing substances.
