Dear msyamp! This was so far the meanest psych question I've ever encountered-it's from Appleton & Lange review-the answer is A.Apparently choces c, d and e are made up, there are no such meds. According to them, the preferance should be given to Navane, coz it's new and strong, vs thorazine, which is older and lower-potency.
My answer was e-sounded just like risperidone!

Don't use Appleton and Lange as study guide.
They are out of steps !
Exam never asks questions like that
