  • Phenothiazines group (e.g. chlorpromazine, thioridazine, fluphenazine)
  • Thioxanthenes group (e.g. thiothixene)
  • Butyrophenones (e.g. haloperidol)

*to memorize, you can try to use this mnemonic: "Party Till Bored!" (Party = Phenothiazine, Till = Thioxanthenes, Bored = Butyrophenones)

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.

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.


What is the difference between typical vs atypical psychotic drugs?

Typical antipsychotic drugs primarily block dopamine receptors in the brain, while atypical antipsychotic drugs affect multiple neurotransmitters, including serotonin and dopamine. Atypical antipsychotics are less likely to cause motor side effects like tremors and muscle stiffness compared to typical antipsychotics. However, atypical antipsychotics may have a higher risk of metabolic side effects such as weight gain and diabetes.
