Loxapine, sold under the brand names Loxitane and Adasuve (inhalation only) among others, is an antipsychotic medication used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia. The drug is a member of the dibenzoxazepine class and structurally related to clozapine. Several researchers have argued that loxapine, initially classified as a typical antipsychotic, behaves as an atypical antipsychotic.[2] Loxapine may be metabolized by N-demethylation to amoxapine, a tricyclic antidepress...

My mom (passed) was a psychittic RN & went through hell & 30 diffs meds before finding loxapine finally "held" my sister (still disabled & delusional--wont treat her severe diabets, hypothyroid, or snemia) dorry for typis.

They are both antipsychotics, but the Geodon is approved for treating bipolar disorder, so there's a chance that it may help her more.

Trying to identify a small round light green pill with L | 10 on one side and no markings on the back of the pill. ## Based on my research, a round green film-coated tablet imprinted with L over 10 (separated by a score line) on one side and blank on the back, reportedly contains 10mgs of Xylac (Loxapine succinate); an antipsychotic medication used for schizophrenia. For verification, this appears to be a product of Canada with a Drug Identification Number (DIN) of: 02230838 I hope this helps!

This pill is an orange/peach color and is round in shape. It has the P with a circle behind it engraved in one side, which is the Pharmascience logo. The other side is scored, then there's a capital L on the upper half and a 5 on the lower half. Any ideas as to what this is would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ## @cagedtiger, Based on my research, the Canadian made Pharmascience (PMS) pill you are describing is identified as Loxapine 5 mg. Loxapine is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions). Loxapine is in a group of medications called conventional antipsychotics. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. You can learn more about this dr...
