Haloperidol (Haldol) occupies it basically 100%, and grabs on like no tomorrow, producing a lot of nasty side effects in the way (does the same for a lot of the Dx receptors). Things like Seroquel occupy it for a short time and then release it, and then grab it again. Less EPS (side effects, specifically usually used as a term for antipsychotics), theoretically though I have some odd EPS. Nothing like Compazine though which I had in the hospital for flu -- its at least as nasty as Haldol and has profuse akathisia.
