I would bet clozapine would make a good last-ditch AD as well as AP and bipolar treatment.

notably, it is the only AP that has been proven not to induce TD.

One the downside, it requires weekly blood tests for white-cell count monitoring. Given that this drug has been shown to sometimes REVERSE TD, a dreadful side effect of all other AP's, I am glad this drug didn't go the way of nomifensine and other drugs that carry serious risks but potentially incaculable benefits.
