Clozapine is not a tricyclic antidepressant, but rather an atypical antipsychotic medication.
Atypical antipsychotics differ from typical antipsychotics by the range of receptors that are modulated or affected.
Typical antipsychotics primarily inhibit Dopamine 2 (DA2) receptors. Atypical antipsychotics block a host of receptors, namely serotonin and dopamine, but also including alpha and histamine receptors in varying proportions.
The benefit of Clozapine is that there is a lesser degree of dopamine inhibition that is aimed at reducing certain side effects.
