Fluanxol: Flupentixol hydrochloride is a typical antipsychotic of the thioxanthene group, used in oral or injectable form to treat schizophrenia, and in low doses to treat depression. It can cause restlessness, tremors, rigidity, seizures if used long-term. Discuss with your prescribing doctor.

Flunaxol: Flupenthixol decanoate. Here is a listing of side effects: https://www.drugs.com/mmx/flupenthixol-decanoate.html. Note that it has been used to treat pain. REF: https://www.lundbeck.com/au/products/our-products/fluanxol. However, it would seem that there are alternatives to an antipsychotic for physical pain. It is a product that is not available in the US .Not familiar with "TSA".
