I've got hold of the manufacturers (Lundbeck) and asked them for information re: the mechanism of flupenthixol in depression/anxiety. Let's hope they know!? I'll post any answers I get out of them. I've got quite a few patients who are using it with great effect but I feel uncomfortable recommending medications when I don't adequately understand their mechanism of action. The same goes for low dose sulpiride (Dogmatil).

Hi,

I don't know how to start but your questions attracted my attention. I have been consuming fluanxol (1mg) for the last 8 years with great results. But the problem is I can't seem to stop it. I have asked Lundbeck and a lot of physicians but no one seemed to be able to offer me a satisfactory answer. My question is - is it OK to consume fluanxol for a lifetime??? I had mild depression since 1992 and have been taking fluanxol (1mg) for the last 8-9 years. I attempted to quit the medication many times but the withdrawal is painful. Please shed some light on my predicament. Thanks
