Higher doses of spiperone depress the flexor reflex and inhibit the induction of the stimulating effect of clonidine. Pimozide has no such effect. Haloperidol in doses which do not influence the action of LSD and fenfluramine produces a depression of the flexor reflex and antagonizes- the action of clonidine. Our findings indicate that, irrespective of their antidopamine action, spiperone has a central antiserotonin effect and an antinoradrenaline one, pimozide--an antiserotonin one and haloperidol-- an antinoradrenaline one.
