Not sure if it was classified as a tranquilizer in the past, perhaps it was before the AP's became fashionable, but both my 1995 and current drug book classify it as a AP. Rarely is it given anymore with all the atypicals out there. I never gave it in the last 5 years, although they gave it to my father within that time for agitation that was related to being in the ER and having his parkinson's meds not working. Once we got there he became calmer and did not need anything for agitation but can you imagine being in your late 70's, in the ER where he was hallucinating from dopamine imbalence and poor vision and have no one to stay with you? He was on a gurney lined up just waiting for a bed while the other docs and nurses attended to the trauma and victims of violence. It was a way to just shut him up that night.
