Hi J
>Of course there are still backwater county hospitals who use "vitamin H" (haldol), but that's a horrible practice.
Don't forget than some patients actually prefer haloperidol to atypical APs. Zyprexa are similar drugs cause substantial toxicity, obesity being one of the most commonly observed side effects. Xbunny, a babbler who suffers from schizophrenia, prefers the typical neuroleptic flupenthixol, another high potency neuroleptic.
>I assure you... doctors want to keep their DEA licences.
That would appear to be one of the major factors controlling US doctors prescribing.
>No.. not everybody does.. but they're all GABA related agents... so the patient may not respond to a reasonable dose of barbiturate either.
.....but they might. They'd have to try it to find out.
