First-generation antipsychotic medications
Possible and frequent neurological adverse effects of these first-generation antipsychotics include the possibility of a movement disorder (tardive dyskinesia) that may or may not be reversible. The first generation of antipsychotics includes:
Chlorpromazine Haloperidol
The drug perphenazine
The drug fluphenazine
These antipsychotics are sometimes less expensive than second-generation antipsychotics, especially the generic versions, which may be a crucial factor when long-term treatment is necessary.
