I was 22 years old and had suicidal feelings. Self destructive and impulsive not to mention severely depressed. This med made all the difference for me. Without it I couldn't get out of bed. With it, I was able to go to college and complete a degree.

I remember the first time I ever received the injection, it was like an intense burden was lifted off my shoulders. For me the injection worked and I felt a lot better. The only downside is that you have to take another med to counteract the side effects which causes really bad dry mouth.

My son, Shawn age 31, has had schizophrenia for several yrs now. So far he had been doing good personality wise. But last month his personality changed to more of an aggresstion that I never seen before. His Dr. decided to try Prolixin 2 wks ago (11 Feb. '08). It made him very sleepy. Anyway, by the time he woke up, I noticed a little bit of change in him. It has now been 2 wks since his last shot (his first one) & he's the person I knew before this started. He gets his 2nd shot on the 5th of March '08. "He has a habit of forgetting his meds."Read More Read Less
