| 5 | porphyria AIP | weight gain, snoring, sound sleep, reduced anxiety | This is good for insomnia but fraught with side effects. I've been lucky | M | 68 | 35 years 75mg /day 1X day | 3/21/2010 | 5 | Insomnia | Nothing else worked long term by itself. Take 100 mg. with Chloryl Hydrate (Somnote 4*500 mg.) before bed. I can now sleep sometimes 13 hours (on weekends only). I get up relatively refreshed (vice other meds), ready for work. Multiple traumatic brain injuries require 7-9 hours sleep, else hallucinations (no lie). | Dry mouth is a bummer, but I'm getting used to it. | M | 47 | 16 days | 3/22/2006 | 5 | just for fun | couldn't understand anything | wow | M | 38 | 1 days | 10/15/2004 | 5 | Bipolar Disorder | TD symptoms occassionally. | Helps with anxiety a great deal. I sometimes take up to 400 mg a day, but find that if I do take this much, I get the TD symptoms. Thus, I try not to take more than the 200mg a day even though the doctor prescribes enough to take 4 times a day. This medication has helped me a lot. The doctor tried to talk me into taking it for a couple years before I finally agreed to try it. My recommendation is to give it a try. If the side effects outweigh the benefits, then don't take it. If it helps, then why not? | M | 43 | 2 years 100mg 2X day | 2/5/2015 | 5 | anxiety | nothing really,maybe a bit of a dry mouth | slows you down and calms nervous energy,couldnt live without it. i take it with 50mg amitriptyline and 50mg atenolol,all for severe anxiety | M | 40 | 2 years 50mg 1X day | 3/6/2016 | 5 | I have two black belts, psychosis | Sleep, slightest bit stiff that’s it.

A+ | M | 37 | 1 years 25mg 2x | 7/17/2019 | 3 | chronic hic-ups | taken 48 hrs ago- slept 21 of the next 24 hrs, now I havent been able to sleep since and so far Ive gone from very happy to very angry to very depressed in the last 12 hrs. Knocked the hell out of those hic-ups though. | Emergency room administers Thorazine for chronic hic-ups and nausia, but I dont recommend it unless you REALLY need it. | M | 34 | 1 days | 7/17/2006 | 1 | uncontrollable hiccups | I was hospitalized for a ruptured appendix and had a reaction to the anesthesia, which resulted in uncontrollable hiccups. The doctor ordered me Thorazine, and I had a reaction of psychosis, was very manic, couldn't sleep, was angry and nasty. The reaction lasted 4 days. The hiccups never went away.

I would stand outside for long periods of time listening to a factory run and I thought it was beautiful music. I also had a bug eyed stare. | M | 5 years 10 MG 3X day | 9/21/2014 | 1 | Recreation | Extreme salivation. Tightness in throat. Excessive sleep: It knocked me out for 13 hours. | Tried this in high school as a cheap substitute for Quaaludes. It became apparent why this is given to psychotics.
