The beliefs that antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are 1) effective only to treat delusions and hallucinations (positive symptoms), 2) that typical and atypical APDs differ only in ability to cause extrapyramidal side effects, and 3) that their efficacy as antipsychotics is due solely to their dopamine D 2 receptor blockade are outmoded concepts that prevent clinicians from achieving optimal clinical.

Antipsychotic Drugs Classification, Pharmacology and LongTerm Health
Antipsychotics. First-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) are drugs used primarily for the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. The use of FGAs has declined in the last few years, mainly because of an increase in prescriptions of second-generation agents. Since FGAs are considerably less expensive than newer antipsychotics.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI) Mechanism of Action
The therapeutic action of an antipsychotic occurs when 65% to 85% of brain dopamine (D2) receptors are occupied. When more than 80% of the dopamine (D2) receptors are occupied, hyperprolactinemia and parkinsonism can result. In addition to percentage occupancy, the duration of time that the antipsychotic drug stays attached to the D2 receptor impacts the degree of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS).
