Clozapine was the first antipsychotic that showed improved symptom relief in individuals with schizophrenia without causing severe Parkinsonian-like side effects. Haloperidol and Chlorpromazine, the first antipsychotics, had significant side effects, including a Parkinsonian-like syndrome. Risperidone is a more recent antipsychotic that is helpful in treating schizophrenia, but it was not the first to do so without severe side effects.
