I agree that 100 mg's is a very small dose. I was also given it a few times when I was in hospital some 30 years ago, in a small dose like that and it was helpful.
People who take big doses can be like zombies - they walk with arms dangling and seemingly no connection between the parts of their bodies. It's a scary med in that it seems to make people incapable of feeling, or at least of expressing feeling outwardly. But again, that's in large doses.
But it sure seemed to help some people, people who were unable to function, who were just pretty much right out of their trees came down on thorazine, and were able to be around others. It was the only med at the time that seemed to work.
Does that help?
