Viper is on a distinguished road
It's the best available for violent patients needing sedation. It will control the psychotic symptoms and knock the patient out. Some physicians will use haloperidol with a benzo, but Chlorpromazine is a typical antipsychotic with low potency. So, in other words, good night and good bye psychotic features.

It does of the problem of extra-pyramidal side effects (think Parkinson's)
