One can most certainly overdose on anti-psychotics. The effects of an overdose can be both exceedingly unpleasant and dangerous. The difference between the therapeutic dose and the overdose varies from substance to substance, so it is impossible to generalize in this regard. Of course, one should never take more of these medications than prescribed.

Is clozapine in the tricyclic antidepressant class of drugs?
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.
