Antipsychotic switching

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was interested in aspects of psychiatric pharmacy, but I didn't want to pick something I already knew about. I went through the C-rated articles and landed on the page.

Evaluate the article
The introduction provides a concise yet substantial roadmap for the rest of the article. It is not overly complicated nor does it include information that is not later elaborated in the article. The article relies heavily on a handful of up to date, and credible sources. The content seems primarily focused on the professional perspective of antipsychotic switching rather than information that a patient may find useful. I especially like the use of graphics to illustrate tapering methods. The article discusses adverse effects of antipsychotic switching from a mechanistic standpoint but does not acknowledge much in the way of clinical advice to mitigate these effects.
