"I've taken Prolixin since the '70s. It has saved my life. I'm scared of the possible side effects, but the trick is for all of the movement episodes I take 2 mg of Artane each time I take the Prolixin, it takes all the side effects away. ...try it!"

"I needed to get on the lowest dose acceptable because it made me very tired, but it controls the symptoms very well: no more paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, etc. The best one I've tried so far."

"Seems to work on quieting the racing thoughts. Just a bit scary to think of the possible side effects. Still better than the metabolic syndrome that is a byproduct of the newer medicines."

"I was given Prolixin one day, and a couple of days later, I had a very bad grand mal seizure that wouldn't stop and ended up in intensive care. No apologies from anyone, just a $35,000 hospital bill. No admission that this pill caused it. Due to all the abnormalities that can show up on an EEG, I was diagnosed with epilepsy and brain damage. I've seen a neurologist since then, and I have neither. This pill is dangerous."
