title: Effects of intermittent haloperidol treatment on dopamine receptor sensitivity in guinea pigs.
abstract: Intermittent haloperidol treatment in guinea pigs caused an increase in the behavioral response to apomorphine and an increase in 3H-spiroperidol binding in the striatum to the same degree as continual haloperidol treatment. These results do not support the claim that drug holidays can reduce the incidence of tardive dyskinesia.
