It reduces hallucinations, helps organize thinking proceses. The term a-typical denotes the fact that it is not designed to impact dopamine levels in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter linked directly to Parkinson's. My experience with the drug comes from working with the mentally ill for the past 30 years. E.J. Bryan "I never said the things I said"--Yogi Berra 52/40/13
