https://sci-hub.ru/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8839957/

A doctor in 1996 treated a patient with various behavioral symptoms and a fixation on becoming the other sex with a low dose of the antipsychotic pimozide. This medication did not affect libido or sexual function and did not scar the patient’s body. The medication was fully reversible and gender dysphoria came back when the patient reduced the dose. The gender dysphoria went away again when the dose was increased. The main side effect was some daytime sleepiness.
