—
rigidity, myoglobinuria, autonomic instability,
hyperpyrexia.
MOA:
block dopamine D2
receptors (increase [cAMP]).
Antipsychotics
Haloperidol, trifluoperazine, fluphenazine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine (haloperidol + “-azines”).
antipsychotics
High potency: Trifluoperazine, Fluphenazine,
Haloperidol (Try to Fly High)—cause:
neurologic
side effects (eg, extrapyramidal symptoms
[EPS]).

weekly).
SE of -pines

SE of risperidone
hyperprolactinemia (amenorrhea,
galactorrhea, gynecomastia).
Se of olanzapine
