"Sedating drug, prothipendyl is related to it; it can break a major crisis along with benzodiazepines, more powerful for physical agitation (and possible self-harming tendencies) than, for example, Quetiapine. Chemical hammer, but if used daily (more as a sleep aid than for psychosis), you get used to it, but still, it's powerful (no fast tolerance like with benzos). No bad hangover next day (like I get with Quetiapine), but a nice relaxed state. Not a wonder drug, not so bad; it's useful with other medicines to stop paranoia and psychotic states, but not on its own. I take it with Lorazepam or Clonazepam to stop a major crisis, but I get useless for a couple of hours. Still prefer that to being completely mad and doing wrong."

"I've been taking this with mirtazapine for around 2 years as my depression caused psychosis and chronic insomnia. It says you start to see effects after a few weeks, but I noticed a change after about 5 days. Within a month, I was able to function again and wasn't delusional anymore. Everything was going perfect until one day I couldn't pee and had to go to the hospital. This drug lists urinary retention as a common side effect, so be careful. I had to have my dose cut from 15 mg to 4 mg, and flow is back to normal now, and I haven't experienced rebound psychosis."
