I wrote about rage attacks and sexual impulses and two people suggested thiothixene. I want to know since trifluoperazine at a total dose daily of 20mg is not working well, whether thiothixene will indeed work, at what dosage is it usually recommended for this and if it can indeed replace trifluoperazine. I went back on risperidone 3mg tab with haloperidol 5mg for a few days but then all the horrible risperidone side effects came back intolerably. Can someone please comment on thiothixene thereapy, if it will work alone, and whether SEs will be tolerable. I read a little about rabbit syndrome, etc and sounds a bit scary. I want to be well informed before asking doctor.

It's a tranquilizer but not like benzo, it just sedates and relives some anxiety, but the only thing is it's not good for elderly people, it can actually cause death.....ill try to research more on it.....
it's an older anti-psychotic, but still it has good properties in reliving symptoms

A friend of mine has been taking Navane (thiothixene) for a few years. She reports having no side effects. Weight gain is not problem for her. She has schizoaffective disorder with depression, mania, and paranoia. Prior to treatment, she was not hypersexual, although she may have experienced episodic rage-attacks. Adding Saphris (asenapine) to the Navane produced an antidepressant, energizing, and helped enhance cognition. She is in remission.
Have you ever tried Tegretol (carbamazepine) or Trileptal (oxcarbazepine)? These drugs are considered to be mood-stabilizers. However, they are also used to treat impulsiveness and rage-attacks.

on one of the sites, it says it has antidepressant properties, but it's an old generation anti-psychotic, usally those where harsh and strong, they didnt really have multi-symptom like the new ones today.......it's a good med, espcially for it's time frame when i was released in 1967.....
the only thing they say is not use it with elderely people, some dementia, it can cause worsening symptoms and death.....
