>I've received flupenthixol from a number of psychiatrists. However one of them moved me to olanzapine. I think maybe she thought it was an older ("typical"), less effective, and/or more risky antipsychotic. It's not very popular, it's never been suggested to me, I always had to request it.
Olanzapine, incidentally, is the drug most liable of all to induce diabetes.
