 4  Mania / Hypomania After a few days my head gets foggy and I seem to miss words in sentences or mix things up. I only take it for short term so it's all right. Overheating too. It's not like the new anti-psychotics which take you slowly down, for me it's like hitting a wall. I like that better. It's shorter, less painful and I can get off it all right. I tried the more recent but they are a pain because you must wait for them to kick in. The first time I had loxapine it knocked me out straight. After 5 days or so my bones kind of turn to cement and it's really painful. So I don't take it on a long term, just as a stop! Those are MY symptoms and MY experience but maybe you'll get something different. It's an old anti-psychotic... I've been "on" it since 2006. Now i'm relying on it when needed. So I put down 3 years of usage even though not continuous. F 25 3 years
