From wikipedia, Orange Book @FDA (http://www.fda.gov/cder/orange/default.htm) and Drugs.com entries,
It was also a US, but not Canadian medication, introduced in 1959, somewhat after Chlorpromazine (Largactil, Thorazine).
Its generic name in the is chlorprothixene, Taractan in the US and has been discontinued.
A similar medication in the thioxanthene class is Navane (thiothixene), seldom used and generally replaced with Risperdal.
