What are medicines for schizophrenic children?

Although antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics are not specifically approved for use with children, children with schizophrenia still use the same medications as adults with schizophrenia. The most commonly used class of antipsychotics, with fewer side effects than the typical antipsychotics, is the atypical antipsychotics. The most commonly used atypical antipsychotics are Abilify, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Clozaril, Symbyax, and Geodon. The second most commonly used class of antipsychotics is the typical antipsychotics. They have more side effects than the atypical antipsychotics, but they are often effective on patients who don't respond to atypical antipsychotics. The most commonly used typical antipsychotics are Thorazine, Haldol, Perphenazine, and Fluphenazine.
