hey! I just thought Trilafon since its a little better studied than the other old ones...the CATIE study made it seem like a viable option in some cases. But...im not at all for APs, especially for bipolars and especially old ones. I imagine Haldol side effects are largely due to dosing...that said, there are supposedly differences among the old drugs; Mellaril causes less EPS, Loxapine might be atypical-ish, Molindone causes weight loss, so on and so forth. Ideally, though, bipolar should be controlled with mood-stabilizers, add-on benzos, and antidepressants (in my opinion..and in that order).
