Hi CrazyChikUK
Fluanxol may well help you. Your Psychiatrist obviously thought so otherwise s/he would not have prescribed it for you. Why don't you 'phone the Psychiatrist and check with her/him if it is still OK to use the Fluanxol? Also check the expiry date on the medication itself!
Your Pharmacist might also be a good person to talk to regarding whether or not it is still safe for you to try the Fluanxol out as s/he will probably know what other medications you are on (and may offer to 'phone you Psychiatrist for you).
It is true that you should avoid taking this medicine in the late afternoon/early evening as it can keep you awake owing to its 'activating properties'.
Good Luck
