It was less than a week ago when I had a doctor and staff members force me to take this medication in a very bad Hospital. I called 911 because my foot needed stitches ; I accidentally stepped on a piece of glass I had just broken within seconds of my foot hitting the ground so with no vehicle because I have seizures I called for 911 because I truly believed I needed stitches and then I began having a panic attack when I got there because they took me to the hospital my mother had recently died from cancer. I know all medications that are not good for me it's in my file by many doctors. I begged them not to make me take this medication but these people thought it was okay to lie and threaten their patients so I took it. My experience was terrifying. I could not breathe I could not see I mean I could do both but not very well. The worst part was my tongue swelled up almost seven times its size I couldn't even keep it in my mouth and it kept wanting to poke out I had no control over it or my jaw or facial movements ;the top side of my head was trying to go to the left while the bottom of my jaw was trying to go to the right I have TMJ which doesn't hurt but what this medication did to me hurt very badly. My surroundings did not look normal to me and I began to get very scared and paranoid because the staff was not helping me they acted like it was no big deal. The patients had a circle around me and all of them are trying to help me although none of them could understand what I was saying. I began to cry and my whole body started to jerk in ways I had no way to control it. I didn't feel safe. I was trying to speak and my tongue was poking out in really weird ways and my whole body was just doing so many weird things and I had no control. He forced me to take Cogentin and it took a long time but everything went away. The staff never try to comfort me reassure me that I was ok, I also get seizures. I only took the pill once. 20 minutes later it happened. Lasted a dayRead More Read Less

This was a HORRIBLE med 4 me!!! It cramped up all my muscles---especially my jaw muscles. My teeth were literally grinding against each other. I now list it as an allergy for me.

I have my Spouse, the man I married, back!!! I noticed results in his voice & speech within the first 24 hours of taking this medication. He came home from the hospital after 4 nights of being on this medication. All this after 4.5 years of dealing with his delusions, hallucinations, & psychosis.

Just got out of a hospital, carrier clinic in NJ, where I was prescribed prolixin shots and pills. Along with that I have been taking Lamictal, benztropine, tegretol, tenormin, and ambien CR. So far i feel much different from the way I used to feel on saphris or abilify for antiphychotic meds and also got put in hospital when I always felt wide awake and couldnt eat. I can eat now and the only reason I made satisfaction a 3 out of 5 is that I just started and cant figure out how well this is helping me. I still feel alittle anxiety and misplaced energy but at least this drug does not make me feel sleepy all the time and it also feels like my brain is not dumbed down. It actual gives me a sense of well being which I have not had in ages, even though I have been prescribed anti-depressants in the past. It has more effectiveness and than any of the other meds. Overall as of now I feel much better and looking for a way to channel my new found sense of well-being.Read More Read Less

Prolixin (Prolixyn was the spelling used with me)is a potent brain poison used to torture people. In my case Psychiatry was weaponised by the very wealthy and influential psychologist mother of a former girlfriend. I nearly died from the effects of this medicine and was permanently damaged. This drug has been used as an interrogation device and chemical restraint at secret U.S.A. extraterritorial rendition prisons. This drug lacks efficacy in the treatment of disorders and is what influences school shooters to shoot, maim and kill. This drug does similar damage to all mammals and its knowledge should be allowed to expire from human consciousness. It is nothing more than a by product of herbicide production and as such highly promotes advers sentitivity to even the minutest presence of herbicides. It promotes endocrine imbalance and erosive damageto the metabolic, muscular,cardiac, frontal lobe and vascular systems. This drug similarly effects both healthy and purported mentally ill individuals in an identical fashion. Although there may be some individuals who will claim efficacy or lack of action there are some among them who are simply deceiving the psychiatric community by not taking it and claiming they have because they SO FEAR THE EFFECT that they believe avoidance is justified. This drug has NO CORE EFFECT. This drug is a psychiatrists excuse to chase side effects as if they were symptoms of a disease. It is the pivot point of a debauched charlatanistic quackery and all who hail it as anything positive should be expelled from medicine and punished by incarceration for a minimum of six months of actual consecutive days.Read More Read Less

I've been there and done that with most mainstream medications to treat severe anxiety and related depression. I went from non-functional and almost bedridden. In my case I almost immediately felt my anxiety ease. Unlike most other meds I did not feel tired or lethargic. So no zombie feeling. Actually just the opposite. I'm getting up easier and feel more focused since I don't have constant anxiety and bipolar mood swings. Although xanax is required at times, I'm not taking nearly as much. I am also taking zoloft in addition. I hope this helps someone. It definately helped me. So far two thumbs up!!!Read More Read Less

My daughter developed Neuroleptic Malignant syndrome and ending up in the ICU. Her whole body was shaking, slurred speech, lost control of bladder, heart rate shot way up and blood pressure. It was a nightmare.

Almost overnight, my daughter with Parnoid Schizophrenia went from very delusional and confrontational to "back to her old self"--except with the shaking. The shapking is being controlled with Cogentin. The Prolixin does make her sleepy.
