dancingteapot Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I was on it for a bit. No side effects or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I got the shot of prolixin. It really helped a lot except I couldnt adjust the dose when I needed to. ie, when I got the first shot, it was a little too much, but because it was a shot of it I was stuck with the side effects until it wore off after 2 weeks (it was obvious when it wore off ... got my -normal- energy back). But it worked. I tried the pills and they didn't have much of an effect. Only the shot helped. I don't remember the dose of the pills or shot. But the shot helped A LOT more than the pills for me.

My pdoc discussed the shot with me, but that would mean I would have to go to GP for administration and probably pay a copay every time so I declined. Hopefully the pills work. I read online it is one of the strongest potencies along with Haldol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellifluous Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 hey butterfly, i was on the depot injection for several months. it worked really well overall. i took zyprexa concurrently and the combination was good for me. i found it to be a lot like haldol (which, i'm on haldol depot now), except that the major side effect i got from prolixin was akathisia. i took propranolol and that helped immensely, however, so i was able to continue on it for awhile. i tend to get muscle rigidity more on haldol, which i didn't have on prolixin. i only took the pills specifically to end up on the depot, and i don't have a really solid memory of how that went as i was pretty messed up when i started. it must've been ok though given i did end up being able to handle the injections. hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions. best wishes with it; prolixin was overall very useful for me. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
