"Again, a terrible tragedy that I was subjected to this drug against my will because of a temporary behavioral anomaly. After a month of taking, I became very hollow and unbelievably slow, especially at tasks such as reading, thinking, and communicating. Periodically, I had some sort of dyskinesia and felt like all the memory was being sucked out of me, and I would have to get stuck in a weird transition state. It was a very frightening and terrible experience, as if I could not take care of myself. The only way to get rid of that catatonia was to take sedatives and sleep it off. I am not sure how to label this symptom, but I will guess the most appropriate labeling would be either catatonia or severe delirium with dyskinesia. The symptom disappeared after 6 months of not taking this medicine."

"I've been on this 8 months. It seems okay. Took the psychotic symptoms away, but getting palpitations, body temperature issues, too hot and too cold, eating a lot more, slowed my metabolism down, insomnia, and flu-type symptoms. I do feel 80% better than what I did, just constant worry about possible side effects."

"Worst experience on this drug! Developed sciatica, gained fifty pounds on it, and had my first gallstones flare-up on it. Was on it for about six months. Beware! Make sure whomever injects knows how to do it. Was in pain from the sciatica for about a year after discontinuing the drug."

"Causes dizziness, makes me lightheaded, unable to think, gives me a feeling of discouragement. Literally the worst drug ever."
