| 1 | Forced to take it | Damaged something in the deep Nasal cavities in the head. I keep getting painful infections and they are not treatable so far | Horrible | M | 42 | 15 2X day | 6/21/2012 | 1 | attempt to help with depression | was having migraines at the same time & was being given compazine for that nausea. All of a sudden, I couldn't walk or even coordinate my hands to feed myself. Went to ER & they realized initially that compazine causes these parkinson like symptoms. They stopped the compazine immediately but didn't realize that the thorazine was also causing the parkinson like symptoms which was why the symptoms didn't go away after stopping just the compazine. It took over a month & going to a neurologist for him to realize that the continued parkinson symptoms were being caused by the thorazine even after stopping the compazine. Both meds cause these symptoms & after both were stopped it took about another month for the symptoms to go away. I couldn't coordinate my hands & needed help just to walk. I couldn't even walk myself into the bathroom so had to wait for my husband to get home from work just to go to the bathroom. It took so long for the Dr's to realize the symptom | I was on the combination for about 6+ months before the symptoms just immediately showed up. It didn't even help with the depression & high anxiety level that I was having so it definitely wasn't worth the side effects. | F | 46 | | 2/16/2007 | 5 | just for fun | couldn't understand anything | wow | M | 38 | 1 days | 10/15/2004 | 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 | 3 | Insomnia | Started taking this last night. Prescribed for terrible insomnia. well after about two hours I finally fell asleep and slept for 12 hours! I feel groggy today and sorta zombie like, but will continue as maybe this is normal at first. | F | 39 | 1 days 50mg 1X day | 2/9/2011 | 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. The sole purpose of this drug is to knock you out. I threw the remaining tablets I possessed into the garbage. This is not a recreational drug. | M | 37 | 1 days | 4/1/2004 | 1 | Bipolar type 2 | Tardive Dyskinesia-Tongue was frozen. | This had to have been the most terrifying medication I have ever taken. It's a good thing I only found out the symptoms could be permanent after they went away. | F | 23 | 1 days | 3/25/2009 | 1 | Migraine | This medication affected me instantly, and not in the good way. I instantly started feeling an impending doom, a feeling of “I have to get out of here right now!” But I was paralysed and locked in my mind. I was beyond any point of exhaustion I had ever experienced in my life. I could hardly keep my eyes open to the point I was nearly crying. It made me super mad for some reason. I just remember yelling at my boyfriend and that was it. I’ve woken up the next day (headache-less bless) with super dry mouth, still a feeling of tiredness and scattered. I feel like the medication has seriously messed me up | Wouldn’t wish this medication on my worst enemy | F | 17 | 1 days No idea | 10/10/2019 | 1 | Mental Illness | I slept almost all day and felt like taking my life when I was awake and did not know why I was feeling like this. | I will never take this medication again. I never slept so much in my life and I did not like feeling like killing myself, stop taking. | F | 32 | 3 days | 9/6/2005 | 1 | Hiccups | Neuropathy, sleepiness | Slept right through my sister's college graduation. Caused neuropathy in hands/feet/face that continues to get worse - can barely hold a pen anymore. Any other side effects I had I don't remember due to the knockout effect. | F | 22 | 4 days 1X day | 11/9/2015 | 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 do not recommend this medication to anyone. | M | 56 | 4 days | 5/11/2009 | 2 | Anxiety depression bpd | Still feeling very anxious, diarrhoea, still have thoughts of suicide, very shaky, | I'm taking thoracic along side 90mg of duloxatine | F | 43 | 10 days 25mg/5ml x | 10/24/2015 | 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 | 1 | Blurry vision, dry mouth, Death like sleep | F | 33 | 30 days 3X day | 4/13/2010 | 1 | bipolar II | extreme physical agitation combined with a zombielike mind state | horrible stuff.

Walking on clouds but having very big anger out bursts daily again. | F | 37 | 3 weeks 25 1X day | 8/21/2022 | 3 | Auditory hallucinations, insomnia | This drug was a God send for me. It stopped the auditory hallucinations and helped me sleep. Side effects are awful.
