Trifluoperazine, marketed under the brand name Stelazine among others, is a typical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia.[3] It may also be used short term in those with generalized anxiety disorder but is less preferred to benzodiazepines.[3] It is of the phenothiazine chemical class. It was approved for medical use in the United States in 1959.[4]
