Hi All,
My pdoc recently told me (to my horror) that he thinks I am on the verge of a psychotic breakdown, and that he wants me to start taking some medicines that are used for schizophrenia as well as the antidepressants I am currently taking. The antipsychotic he wants me to take is Fluanxol, or Flupenthixol. I have looked at the side effects and they are really scary, especially the diskenesia. I don't really want to take these pills, and feel maybe I should wait to actually have a psychotic episode first. Has anyone else used Fluanxol, and if so, with what results? At the moment I am taking Ciprimil.
Best regards
Virginia
