Which, if any, of the atypical antipsychotic medications are now available in the U.S. in generic form?

I am not a doctor or a pharmacists nor do a play one on TV, but I can safely say that Abilify is not available in generic and won’t be for about another 10 years.

Risperidone became available as a generic drug in October 2008
Clozaril has been generic since 1998, however it can only be used for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, as it is highly dangerous and should only be used as a last resort.

Zyprexa may go generic in October 2011
Seroquel may go generic in April 2012
Abilify may go generic in 2015
Invega may go generic in 2012, and is simply a remix of Risperdal to extend the patent

Geodon, Saphris, and Fanapt will not become available in generic until well after 2015.

Unfortunately, almost all patients find that one or two work significantly better than the others, often with many not working at all.

Thank you, @papayalily. That is excellent information. I’m glad to know that Abilify will be available as a generic in 5 years instead of 10.

Thank you, @papayalily, that’s an excellent answer to my question.

Cost is a reason why I prefer the “typical” antipsychotics.
