| 1 | upon vomiting, my GP injected it | The injection was in the evening; the next afternoon, I was frozen like a statue as, my tounge was sticking out and my arms were sticking out and one of my legs was rased up and sticking out like those statues in India of their Hindu gods. When my mother entered and saw me, she was severely alarmed and took me to the ER of a nearby hospital. There, in two injections, the ER doctor gave me "The Antidote," and, Thank The Lord, I was back to nornal. A few months later, I developed an exceedingly, exceedingly severe psychotic state, with both insane thoughts and insane actions implementing those thoughts. The doctors in the psychiatric depertment of Kaiser that I was then using thus advised Electroshock Therapy for me. My mother though, understandably, severely alarmed, demanded a second opinion. Thank The Lord though, the psychiatrist therapist whom I was using also did not think ECT was appropriate and instead stressed that good (talking) therapy was needed, which was done. | I do not know the amount of Thorazine that was injected into me. However, that it had to be given by injection and injected in the abdomin sclearly shows that it was an extremely large one. Therefore, it is not surprising that I experienced from it --- almost immediately --- such an extremely violent reaction, and much later on experienced a more subtle but nonetheless gravely serious reaction of severe psychosis. That I tie the later psychosis to the earlier Thorazine shot is not my words but those of the Physician's Desk Reference's entry for Thorazine. For at https://www.pdr.net/drug-summary/?drugLabelId=1696, under "Adverse Reactions," under the sub-heading "Moderate," the sixth "moderate" side effect listed is "psychosis" and it is noted that this particular side effect can occur "early." | M | 12 | 1 days 1X day | 5/9/2025 | 4 | Bi polar. Depressed. Anger. | I have anger out bursts now after 3 weeks of being calm for 1st time in long time. | I'm on chlorpromazine and need to speak to doctor again. The 1 st week was amazing...

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 | 5 | I have two black belts, psychosis | Sleep, slightest bit stiff that’s it.

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 | 1 | For Attention Deficit Disorder | Dizziness, paranoia, and I was depressed all the time | I was given this crappy drug from a quack doctor from 6 until I was 11 years old and I felt like things were better from a distance.
