Dude sometimes we still give thorazine. For context also though, I’m essentially providing ICU level care, so when you say the word “symptom control” it’s often referring to like, fists. We had a Lady maxxed on Haldol one time and she managed to cheek for a week and eventually she just hauled off and rapid fire punched a nurse in the head three times. I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.

It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.
Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.
