 2  psychotic behavior I got a sharp, blinding, piercing, pain over both eyes,went to bed, woke up continuously thirsty but couldnt quench the thirst. could only stumble to the sink and drink till it hurt and crawl back in bed, or on the floor. then god forbid the drink goes in, its gotta go out! miserable night...this was in the mental ward and it didnt wear off till dinner time. then bed time they tell me to take it again , that I will get used to it! & I'm nuts? Ok, so I had to take it three nights in a row it was the same all three nights. I will NEVER take again it if I have a choice. F 3 times
