melissaw72 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yes, I was on prolixin, but I was given the shot, which lasted up to about 2 weeks in me before I needed another one. The first few days I was slightly out-of-it, but it really helped calm down the hallucinations. I stopped taking it because the shot lasted so long, and I was tired in the sense that I felt some-what drained and couldn't do anything about it. The pills did not have an effect on me.

vanderk Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Still available, at least in the USA. Maybe one of the best meds for those with fixed delusions, young or old. Just my professional experience. Obviously, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savannah Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I take 5mg for delusions. I am bp and have only started having delusions in the last 6 months and I have been bipolar for 30 yrs. I find it strange that it would start now. my pdoc wants to increase it, but then I cant function at work. As it is I am on probation at work for falling asleep, too slow to learn and too many mistakes. Probably just a matter of time before I get the axe.
