There are several alternatives to clozapine for the treatment of schizophrenia. Other atypical antipsychotic medications used for schizophrenia include:- Aripiprazole (Abilify®)
- Paliperidone (Invega®)
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa®)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel®)
- Risperidone (Risperdal®)
- Ziprasidone (Geodon®).
Older, "typical" antipsychotics are also approved to treat schizophrenia. Haloperidol (Haldol®) and thioridazine (Mellaril®) are examples of typical antipsychotics.
