I also have what I term a mild form of tourettes syndrome (these symptoms ususlly occurr when I am alone) I now know this drug is now only used in extreme cases of schitsophrenia (excuse spelling) This treatment was part of an overall childhood of physical and emotional abuse. I wish I had never been subjected tothis form of chemical lobotomy. I would like to someday find out how many perscriptions for mellaril were written in 1973

This drug caused severe blurring of my vision. It caused me to be extremely hyper. I could not sit still. It caused sleep problems,eg:dreams,doing odd things in my sleep. I gained twenty pounds in one month. I was given Cogentin to counter the side affects. I had to get glasses so I could read. To this day I still wonder how I kept from commiting suicide while on this drug. It was horrible.

doctor treated me for anxiety. First tried seraquel and I threw up. This is what he perscribed next. It seems a little heavy handed. Even though I am only taking 24ms, I can see this is a strong drug.I feel dizzy, head feels heavy and my movements are jerky.
