I've read horror stories on chlorpromazine (tardive dyskinesia, chemical lobotomy, death). how likely are those serious side effects on 12.5 - 25mg?

Perplexed: Why are you to take a phenothiazine in this day and age, as the use of this class, other than Haldol and Compazine (prochlorperazine) is almost non-existent currently? Low dosing does mitigate risk and side effects, but most of my colleagues would be loathe to use these ancient meds, and select more modern, more effective, and safer agents. Will refer this to my psychiatric colleagues, also.
