Antipsychotics might also be used to counter psychosis associated with a wide range of other diagnoses, such as psychotic depression.

# Antipsychotics, such as quetiapine, risperidone, olanzapine or aripiprazole

* Antipsychotics, which treat psychoses such as schizophrenia and mania.

Antipsychotics are drugs used to treat various symptoms of psychosis, such as those caused by psychotic disorders or schizophrenia.

Antipsychotics are not effective against dissociatives such as PCP, DXM and Ketamine, and should not be used if these drugs are involved.

* Antipsychotics such as haloperidol ( Haldol ), droperidol, pimozide, trifluoperazine, amisulpride, risperidone, aripiprazole ( Abilify ), ziprasidone and asenapine ( Saphris ).

Antipsychotics can have side effects such as dry mouth that may make the patient feel thirsty.

Antipsychotics are not recommended for benzodiazepine withdrawal ( or other CNS depressant withdrawal states ) especially clozapine, olanzapine or low potency phenothiazines e. g. chlorpromazine as they lower the seizure threshold and can worsen withdrawal effects ; if used extreme caution is required.

* Antipsychotics ( Haloperidol, chlorpromazine, clozapine, etc.

Pharmacological treatments include the typical neuroleptic agents such as fluphenazine, pimozide, haloperidol and perphenazine which block dopamine receptors ; these are the first line of treatment for hemiballismus.

* Dopamine receptor antagonists including typical antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine ( Thorazine ), fluphenazine ( Prolixin ), haloperidol ( Haldol ), loxapine ( Loxitane ), molindone ( Moban ), perphenazine ( Trilafon ), pimozide ( Orap ), thioridazine ( Mellaril ), thiothixene ( Navane ), and trifluoperazine ( Stelazine ), the atypical antipsychotics such as amisulpride ( Solian ), clozapine ( Clozaril ), olanzapine ( Zyprexa ), quetiapine ( Seroquel ), risperidone ( Risperdal ), sulpiride ( Dogmatil ), and ziprasidone ( Geodon ), and antiemetics like domperidone, metoclopramide ( Reglan ), and prochlorperazine ( Compazine ), among others, which are used in the treatment of schizophrenia ( SCZ ) and bipolar disorder ( BD ) as antipsychotics, and nausea and vomiting.

Those that are available in pills only are clozapine, olanzapine, and ziprasidone, and other recently discovered atypicals, while those available as depot ( as well as pills ) are haloperidol, fluphenazine and other phenothiazines, thioxanthenes such as flupenthixol and clopenthixol, and the atypical risperidone.

This includes antidepressants such as amitriptyline and imipramine, clozapine ( an atypical antipsychotic ), caffeine, olanzapine ( an atypical antipsychotic ), ropivacaine ( a local anaesthetic ), theophylline ( a xanthine ), and zolmitriptan ( a serotonin receptor agonist ).

Some atypicals such as quetiapine and risperidone are associated with a higher risk of death compared to the typical antipsychotic perphenazine, while clozapine is associated with the lowest risk of death.

These drugs have largely been replaced by second generation ( atypical ) antipsychotics such as clozapine and paliperidone.

Novartis manufactures such drugs as clozapine ( Clozaril ), diclofenac ( Voltaren ), carbamazepine ( Tegretol ), valsartan ( Diovan ), imatinib mesylate and ( Gleevec / Glivec ).

While newer atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine and risperidone appear to have fewer dystonic effects, only clozapine has been shown to have a lower risk of tardive dyskinesia than older antipsychotics.

* Drugs ( ethanol, anthracyclines and some other forms of chemotherapy, and antipsychotics, e. g. clozapine, also some designer drugs such as mephedrone )

( Whitford, 2010 ) Advanced, chronic schizophrenia can not respond even to clozapine, regarded as the most potent antipsychotic ( McEvoy, 2006 ), as such, a cure for highly advanced schizophrenia is likely impossible, so the value of early intervention cannot be stressed enough.

More recent work, however, has shown that atypical antipsychotic drugs such as clozapine and quetiapine bind and unbind rapidly and repeatedly to the dopamine D < sub > 2 </ sub > receptor.

* Agents such as atypical antipsychotics ( coupled with serotonin antagonist effects ): clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and ziprasidone

* possibly neuroleptic drugs such as clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, haloperidol, thioridazine, etc.

Discovering the detailed interplay between neurotransmitters and the understanding of the neurotransmitter fingerprint of psychiatric drugs such as clozapine has been a helpful result of the research.
