• chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Thorazine)
• fluphenazine (Permitil, Prolixin)
• mesoridazine besylate (Serentil)
• perphenazine (Trilafon)

Newer medications, risperidone (Risperdal), quetiapine (Seroquel), ziprasidone (Geodon), aripiprazole (Abilify), olanzapine (Zyprexa) and clozapine (Clozaril), are called atypical antipsychotics.
