No difference between 100mg and 200mg-------------I see 100mg straight away,and in medication,that's a Hell of a difference.
Why do you think she was put on the top dose ??
Ferguson was either lazy or ignorant. His claims about Haldol not causing side bad effects is totally wrong even at the time they knew such medications caused tremors and other problems. He either never took the time to truly learn about the impact of the medication or he didn't really care. The attitude then was simply to load you up with medicine and not care about the consequences. Evne now there is a push to simply dope people up and not care about such inhibiting their ability to lead normal lives.
He started her at the maximum dose but didn't follow normal procedure of trying to reduce the dosage to find the minimum effective dosage he simply left her at 200MG without any instructions for reduction. This can only be attributed to laziness or ignorance of proper procedure.
The only thing that can be said in his defense is that studies that proved greater than 100MG have no added effectiveness were published after this so he had no way to know that at the time. He still should have known about the side effects though. It is as a result of those studies they stopped making and administering greater doses. Still he should have set about finding the minimum effective dosage.
He seemed to be totally ignorant of the problems caused by Haldol which doesn't speak too highly to his competence.
Here he claims it would be slightly sedating:

Here he said her doctor contacted him on July 15 requesting the dosage be cut to 100MG because she was receiving way too much:
http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,1201.0.htmlHe said that he never sent the doctor an answer before the murders and because of the murders never followed up. So 3 weeks passed from the request and he did nothing- what was he waiting for?
