My two cents as a C.G. layman is:
a) check with the drug package insert for all such information, i.e.
chemistry, pharmacology,
adverse reactions, etc., etc.
b) verify with a competent neurologist who is a movement disorder
specialist, and then
listen to him/her. The specialist is far better equipped to
answer your questions than
we are.
Good luck, and good titer!
