I am looking for some kind of list or chart that ranks the typical antipsychotics and their chance to cause TD. One I am interested in is Stelazine (trifluoperazine) at a dose of 1mg. Thanks for any help!

I don't know if such a chart exists. Have you tried Google?
What condition(s) are you treating? What "potency" do you think you need?
You might want to check into Navane (thiothixene) if you need a high-potency drug, and Trilafon (perpenazine) if a low-potency drug is what you are looking for. The more potent, the higher the risk of TD. Also, TD is dosage dependent.

Mellaril had a very low risk of causing TD - unfortunatly its gone from the scene

Perphenazine isn't much worse than the atypicals in terms of EPS. And that's full on antipsychotic dosage. Lower doses can be used, like in Triavil (Elavil+perphenazine).

I think someone already posted this, but, generally speaking, its lower potency (at low to moderate doses)=more sedation, less EPS, presumably less TD...high potency=more EPS, more TD (especially Haldol, which is neurotoxic even at low doses...some metabolite or something causes problems).Good luck!
