Hi Scott,
Trifluoperazine (Stelazine) is similar to haloperidol (Haldol) in many ways. It's a potent D2 antagonist with a relatively high (albeit dose-dependent) risk of inducing acute EPS.
2.5mg haloperidol is thought to be comparable to about 5mg trifluoperazine.
Trifluoperazine and haloperidol might rarely provoke weight loss, yet a modest weight gain seems to be the norm.
Kind regards
Ed
