Holy canoli that is a weird-looking molecule. Nausea is listed as a common side effect, as is somnolence (sleepiness) and akasthisia (not sure on that one). It is supposed to be fairly effective in improving symptoms of schizophrenia and has fewer adverse effects compared to haloperidol and risperdal.
