Has anyone ever been on Thorazine? What did it do for you? PTSD Panic Attacks?

Thanks for responding bucky. I am so scared that I will end up in the hospital again and I don't know what to do. Thorizine is the only thing that has actually helped me any. I never got the side effects from using it, guess I was lucky. It may not have worked for you because you were mis-diagnosed. I don't have Manic-depression either but it is the only thing that helps my anxiety and sheer panic. This is a very bad time of the year for me anyway because that is when the incident happened. Thanks for trying to help you are a peach.

I was given thorazine when I was only 13 years old, to calm me down when manic, only as needed. I'm not sure if this medication is what causes it, but in the past few years I twitch out of nowhere, especially when i'm reading out loud or talking, all of a sudden i stutter. And then my arm and legs twitch sometimes as well. I am now 20 years old, this has been going on since I was about 14.

Thank you freshbreez53. I have been on Thorazine before for 8 years or so. The Benzos do nothing for me I have tried them all, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Valium, Librium like I said I tried them all. The older drugs have always worked best for me and I am lucky enough not to get the side effects from them. Even when it comes to other meds, like pain meds Demerol is old and that is the main drug that works best for me, now they have replaced most of the usage to Dilaudid and that does nothing for me. Thanks for the concern though I am glad someone is trying to help me. I never thought of going to the government people, thanks I may call them if my primary doctor doesn't get anywhere tomorrow. I will suggest this to her and maybe she can help me fight too, I am getting too tired to fight anymore. I want to make peace with the issue but I do need help it is a very tough issue to deal with alone. Thanks again, I feel a little more encouraged that someone is listening. Bless your heart

Thank you my dear. Yes it is hard to have PTSD, the flashbacks and panic is awful!!! My primary care doctor is the best and she is trying to help me but she is not a psychiatrist and is very frustrated herself that I keep getting my rights violated. I hope to find a psychiatrist soon that I can trust. I do have an excellent support system but sometimes I feel so alone anyway, they haven't been there but they try so hard to support me anyway, especially my husband. I don't think there is anyone like him left out there. Thanks for the encouraging words and prayers, I also get support from my church too. Thanks again!!!

you see, you have more friends then you thought. God has a way of showing you that your life means much, and you can make a difference in some one else's life. To the people who don't even know you, but come to you, as caring people do. We know the feelings of fear and pain.
