There are many medications that have been approved by the FDA to treat schizophrenia. Generally the types of drugs that are prescribed are antipsychotic medications. These seem to help curb delusions and hallucinations. There are two main types of antipsychotic medications, first-generation and second-generation.
First-generation antipsychotic medications are generally high-potency. They are very effective at reducing symptoms but people taking them may experience many unpleasant side effects. Here is a list of first-generation antipsychotic medications with the brand name and the generic name:
Prolixin® (Fluphenazine)
Haldol® (Haloperidol)
Loxitane® (Loxapine)
