I couldn't swallow because my tongue was rigid and I drooled and vomitted uncontrollably. It took a visit to...

Hi mihara m Daniels and i was diagnosed with schizophrenia. And i went from caplets to injections every 3 weeks of fluphenazine. I am only 37 and my side effects are outta this world enlarged breasts, headache's, missing period. But it has helped me mentally be stable in the brain. I mean the hallucinate never goes away but it works.

I experienced a horrible sense of restlessness! I was instructed to discontinue use of the medicine because it is a severe reaction (side effect) of this drug. I had hoped for a better result.

I use this medication along with lithium. It helps me sleep at night and stabilizes my mood. I haven't had any side effects during the 2+ years I've been on it, (2mg) but when my dr started reducing my dose I had 24 hrs of muscle spasms in my mouth going through withdrawal.

I took Fluphenazine for a movement disorder. I ended up with severe full body muscular contractions and vomitting, with every part of my body affected from my toes, which curled under, to my eyes, which simply became stuck looking upwards, and my whole body arched and became rigid. I couldn't swallow because my tongue was rigid and I drooled and vomitted uncontrollably. It took a visit to the ER to have an IV with Cogentin and Benadryl to counteract the spasms, which the doctors said were called an acute dystonic reaction. A later dose given due to a mixup of medications resulted in painful muscle spasms in my face and neck, turning my head to the side, and jaw spasms made me chip several teeth.Read More Read Less

Another person reviewing this medication indicated they "experienced musle stiffness in my mouth", my doctor recommended Bendryl if I experienced this condition, Talke to your doctor if you experience this side effect.
