MOA of Typical Antipsychotics (AKA First Generation Antipsychotics)
Appears to be postsynaptic blockade of brain dopamine D2 receptors
Aside from their common activity as D2 antagonists, each FGA has distinct effects on neuronal 5-HT2a, alpha-1, histaminic, and muscarinic receptors, which generally correspond to their individual side effect profiles
(UTD)
High potency FGAs side effects
low activity at histaminic and muscarinic receptors.

Associated with little sedation, weight gain , or anticholinergic activity but a high risk for extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)
Low potency FGA side effects
high histaminic and muscarinic activity with an increased prevalence of sedation and anticholinergic effects, but lower risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)
