Off in spring of 1976. See my entry under Navane. I recommend this even less than Navane. Although I was misdiagnosed, I don't think that was fully responsible for side-effects. Just a nasty drug. | F | 52 | 3 years | 7/11/2005 | 1 | behavior problems | dizzyness, sever reaction to sunlight.. as few as 5 minutes in the sun caused severe burning sensations that lasted up to 12 hours... even my eyes buned. hiccups... heart burn...and i fainted once as i was walking toward the nurses station for morning bp and temp checks... ooh and i was allways sleepy.. somtimes i could barely stay awake... dry mouth... weight gain...impared responces.. it was like being a zombie... | i was 12 years old when this horrible drug was prescribed by the nazi Dr Feuisner of philidelphia. i was taking over 800mg daily..

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 | schizo/bipolar | some weight gain, some heartburn | I had insomnia before I tried thorazine now I sleep soundly, a full nights sleep everynight.
