"This is the only medicine which has worked for my schizophrenia. It's a nightmare to take to begin with, need to gradually increase the dose, but has kept me reasonably well and coping for years. Only side effects for me are dry mouth and solar sensitivity, I don't like the sun anyway, so no matter. But the dry mouth does limit the dose. It helps me sleep too."

"Thorazine, like Stelazine, is used in the treatment of schizophrenic and other psychotic disorders. The beneficial effects are better than any side effects. They have been in use for over thirty years."

"As a child, it helped me at a high dose for 6 1/2 years. Now my son is taking it at a high dose, it's a night-and-day difference, but also he's having side effects that limit his function to the point his blood pressure is very unstable, and he is having muscle rigidity, tremors, vagal syncope. An ER doctor said autonomic instability. We are lowering it now to be able to add another with fewer side effects with his arrhythmia, which, even with me being autistic schizophrenic like him, is challenging to control and watch as he's in full psychosis at this point. But I will say Thorazine is golden compared to the rest, and we've tried the rest. He likes the calm, and it actually stops the parasomnia. But it's just now the serious side effects of this."

"This medication helps with my symptoms and controls some of the voices and the sightings that I experienced throughout my use of this medication."
