Some sources regard clotiapine as a typical antipsychotic rather than atypical due to its high incidence of extrapyramidal side effects compared to the atypicals like clozapine and quetiapine, to which it is structurally related.[4] Despite its profile of a relatively high incidence of extrapyramidal side effects it has demonstrated efficacy in treatment-resistant individuals with schizophrenia according to a number of psychiatrists with clinical experience with it, some weak clinical evidence supports this view too.[3][4][5] A systematic review compared clotiapine with other antipsychotic drugs:
