For Hiccups "Not only did Thorazine not get rid of hiccups, it turned my husband into a zombie! He pulled out his Nguyen tube and catheter. It’s a mind-altering drug they give to mentally ill patients and prisoners to subdue them. Just not worth the additional risk."

For Light Sedation "This will put you out of the game. You'll be conscious and fighting it, see and know you're acting in this ridiculous manner, but unable to do anything about it. Don't go driving around or flying down some stairs until you see how it affects you."

"Before I started this medication, I was on a road straight to death. I was trying to overdose on my medication and once reached a lithium toxicity of 3.8 on one of my attempts. I also was going to the mental hospital every 2 weeks for a total of 8 times in a year period. When I started this medication, I realized it made me a bit drowsy, but I was able to stay on it, it wasn’t like a Seroquel drowsy, it was way less drowsy than that, but drowsy. I started on the 50 mg and then ended up on 200 mg. But I cut back down to 50 mg due to having jobs that require pace and stuff like that. This medication was the only medication to truly stabilize me, my bipolar is truly terrible. I was taking showers maybe once every week or 2 weeks, but now I take showers every day, sometimes 2 showers a day. I’m also really into self-care, where when I wasn’t taking this medication, I had extreme problems with self-care. This medication is seriously the best medicine I’ve ever been on for bipolar."

For Hiccups "Had hiccups for 6 days nonstop. Dr. gave a shot of chlorpromazine and 5 days supply of 10 MG chlorpromazine. The next day they were gone. Really had no ill effects, didn’t feel tired from pills. Saved 2 pills just in case."

For Hiccups "My daughter had the hiccups for almost 3 weeks. Tried all the various meds that did nothing but make her tired and sick. Acupuncture stopped them immediately. Please stop listening to the doctors, they want the money. She is hiccup-free for almost 24 hours!"

For Light Sedation "Am on 400 mgs of Thorazine for insomnia. Stuff does nothing at all, and in fact I feel more awake after taking it. Sure wish it knocked me out like it does to pretty much everyone else."
