I don't about the chemical relation, if any, with chloropromazine,
but I feel, after a fast peek at the chemical structures of the two,
<URL:http://www.biopsychiatry.com/chlorpromazine/index.html>, and
<URL:http://www.sb.com/prescribing_information/images/pi_scans/px16a/px16a_1.gif>
that they don't look very related to me.
I did not experience any "disturbing" side effects, just the ones expected,
such as dryness of the mouth.
