| what are S/E of Atpyicals | same as typical but milder and less common -metabolic syndrome -sedation -nervousness -HYPERSALAVATION -headache/dizziness -priapism -Cardiovascular-dysthymias and synocope(also known as fainting) -NMS -Seizures |
| S/E of both typical and Atypical | -Anticholinergic -EPS -Sexual distrubances -priaism -Metabolic syndrome-Acute dystonic reactions -NMS |
