User Reviews for Navane oral

I have been on navane for over 40 years it has been the only medicine that has ever worked for me to live a life to the fullest.

I was given this as an adjunct to depressive therapy as as suffering from major depression with psychotic features. It was very effective as a once moderate daily dose for about 3 years but I had to stop using it due to tardive dyskenesia as well as amenorrhea - I managed to get pregnant twice despite condoms and foam but didn't notice since the drug took my period away after about a year and I hadn't had a period for that time. then found out I was 3 months pregnant, and p[rescribed a therapeutic abortion. This then happened almost immediately afterwards, again... so between that and the twitches and facial spasms I stopped taking the Navane. Read More Read Less

This is one of the few medicines that I have not had terrible side effects with.

Works great for my bi-polar disorder. I did have considerable weight gain and increased prolactin levels.

I have suffered from depression with psychotic features and have had alot of stress which caused severe agitation. I was first put on Latuda but that was like being in space. Navane has helped me so very much, I would be a mess without it. I was apprehensive about taking it because it is an older drug but works like a charm! I take 10mg in the morning and 15 mg at night to calm thoughts down so I can rest

I have been taking navane since the 1970s. I have only had psychosis when I took myself off it. I take it because I have tried everything else and I feel safest on this although I do not feel that good on it.

I have been on this medication for twenty years for bipolar disorder. I have found it very effective with few side effects. It is far superior to many of the newer psych medications. It is an old medication but one of the best.

With Risperdal if I missed a treatment, the hallucinations would begin again,but withthis medicine I don't even think about weird ideas. It's great. I had been told by someone that non-name brands didn't work, but they were wrong. (I'm on generic).

I have been on navane now for about 2 years it works ok i guess it has made me gain a lot of weight so be careful also you cant take a LOT OF MEDS ON IT every thing interacts with it.

Been on it cause cant afford the medication risperdal.

I was MISDIAGNOSED as a schizophrenic at age 21 by Astrid Dublis. The drug made me exhausted, caused my skin to discolor--and it never quite returned to its original color, caused severe weight gain, and persistent motor restlessness that was AGONIZING. The shrink kept making snide comments about my weight but never told me that Navane caused that. Also, she never told me I had been diagnosed as schizophrenic but she did tell my family, without my permission, even though I was over 21 at the time. This drug is HELL. Unless you are a schizophrenic who is in danger of killing someone and going to prison because of your illness, NEVER, EVER take this drug. Also, be careful of your liver while you take it: don't drink at all and avoid acetominophen. This drug inhibits the enzyme needed to metabolize antidepressants so if you are given an antidepressant as well, have liver function tests, don't drink or take Tylenol, etc. Read More Read Less

This stuff is sinister. They plug just about everyone with this in the onset stages of schizophrenia. Horrible side effects, especially painful muscle pulling and involuntary movement. get on someting else.

Was given initially for psychosis. After a few weeks tramatic adverse reactions including shacking, loss of all emotion with depression with suicide thoughts, sweating at room temperature. Was about 36 years old at time. Was put on drug again at age 50. Fine for few weeks but later had same problems, with less shacking.

experiencing excessive anxiety and lack of focus with periods of crying and involuntary muscle movement

taken at night, I sleep very well. A lot less expensive than other...newer drugs.
