Thanks for the question.
Neulactil is a safe medication, of the typical neuroleptic class, typically used to treat severe anxiety or to treat psychosis. It is not indicated nor proved helpful in the treatment of depression. It carries risk of sedation, orthostatic hypotension, weight gain, and elevated prolactin levels in the blood.
