|
|

I recieved this medication during a hospitalization. after being released I quit taking it. to me it seemed like the floor was tilting. I had to walk with my hand on the walls in order to be able to walk. I felt like I was also moving in slow motion and everything looked far away from me.
I am leaving the recommendation on yes because one persons flop medication can be another persons miracle drug.

had an averse reaction (not noted in above side effects)
|

I recieved an injection of this medication while I was in hospital. I developed an aversive reaction. My tongue started swelling so I couldn't talk and I developed severe shakes in my hands / legs / eyes. I had an injection to counter the side effects but it wasn't a very pleasant experience for me...

I guess it's all right in small doses. To tranquilize someone, it's better than nothing, I suppose.
|
|
Negative aspects of the product (cons):
|
Akathisia (can't sit still). Extreme lethargy. Impotence. Depression.
|
|
In the US, this seems to be the preferred first-time treatment for patients suffering from psychotic symptoms. I guess it's what you get if they don't know who you are or what you've got. It's cheap and far more powerful than Thorazine. And patients hate it even more. My experience has been that the side effects make the cure worse than the disease.

head snapped back, neck temporarily paralyzed, could barely breathe for about 12 hours straight. AGONY

Like many others, I received this during an acute care hospitalization, and I'd sooner die than be administered this horrendous drug again. It makes you feel like absolute hell, the side effects were completely intolerable, and my psychotic/manic symptoms at the time were actually exacerbated to include relentless obsessive compulsive behavior. I repeated the same sequential motion of sitting on toilet, getting up, washing hands, turning around once, and walking out door. Returned and repeated this no less than 400 times in an hour. HELL.
