There is no clear evidence that typical antipsychotics, such as haloperidol (Haldol), thioridazine (Mellaril),
thiothixene (Navane), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine) were useful for treating any neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Response of borderline and schizotypal patients to small doses of
thiothixene and haloperidol.
She had previous trials of several antipsychotics, including quetiapine,
thiothixene, thioridazine, trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine, and haloperidol, all of which were ineffective and poorly tolerated because of serious side effects.
In these select few--who also had not responded to antidepressants or mood stabilizers--I have found
thiothixene to be especially helpful to rapidly reduce anger.
The first generation antipsychotic medications (FGAs), also commonly referred to as "neuroleptics," which include phenothiazines, butyrophenones, and
thiothixenes, treat many of the symptoms of psychosis but have undesirable side effects such as akathisia, tardive dyskinesia, dystonia, and parkinsonism, collectively referred to as "extrapyramidal side effects" (EPS).
