want to prevent this)
-NMS
-EPS - --drug induced acute movement disorders
-pseudoparkinsonism
-akathisia
-dystonia
-How do we treat EPS? - -benztropine, diphenhydramine
-Haloperidol (Haldol) - -typical antipsychotic
-Fluphenazine (Prolixin) - -typical antipsychotic
-Chlopromazine (Thorazine) - -typical antipsychotic
