Zuclopenthixol

An old-school thioxanthene antipsychotic. It comes in tablets, but it’s most famous for its depot injections — often used when someone isn’t taking oral meds. There’s even a rapid-acting acetate form sometimes used in acute wards when sedation is needed quickly. It’s heavy on EPS (stiffness, restlessness), and like all the typicals, not exactly gentle. Still used in the UK because it works, but more as a “maintenance/safety net” drug than a first-line choice.
