Hi Bunny!
>Yup I am taking 20mg at night and an additional 10mg in the morning on those days when I am going to go out. I think the results have been good. My anxiety is down, I am calmer, more focused and my paranoia has lifted somewhat more too. My mood has improved possibly as a result of that. I feel more comfortable going out which was one of the principle reasons for trying the drug so I feel that is major target hit. I dont get much side effects from it, some tremor and dry mouch but thankfully no restlessness or crawling out of my skin effects like chlorpromazine. When I started it the first few pills made me very dizzy but that didnt stick. All in Im very pleased with it and would recommend it.
Hey that's great :-) I bet your pdoc hadn't ever prescribed pericyazine before, I've asked a few pdocs about it and none of them had ever heard of it!
The tremor sounds like mild parkinsonism. I know you take flupenthixol, do you take an anticholinergic? eg. procyclidine etc.
Would you describe yourself as well at the moment? ...or do further changes need to be made?
Ed.
