Something much lower on the totem pole like Zyprexa would not have nearly this effect.

> -- JayMy excuse for a pdoc used to give me Haloperidol until I was crawling up the walls. When I kept telling him about it , he just said "I'm the expert, so do what you're told". What a cruel thing to do to a 14 year old kid. Small wonder I had nothing to do with the mental health system for the next 30 years, and will be telling my pdoc (the broken record)where to go the next and final appointment!
