hi! From what I've read, there's been some investigation into seenig if loxapine can act as an atypical (or atypical-ish) antipsychotic. Apparently, some docs think it induces EPS less often than the other typicals; its also closely related to amoxapine, which has some promise in treating some forms of psychosis. It apparently isn't very popular anywhere; it doesn't seem to have really "caught" on at all..I think it might have been introduced a little later than some of the other typical antipsychotics.
