I have been on several different antipsychotics with many side effects, and Loxapine has been very effective in treating my hallucinations and delusions with minimal side effects. The other antipsychotics made me gain weight because I was always hungry which is not the case with Loxapine. I do get fast heartbeats at times, sweat when standing for prolonged periods, and have difficulty falling asle...

This medication has worked wonders for my psychosis. I was always struggling and unable to explain to people what I was going through, I’ve tried a few antispychotics but this one is the only one that worked properly. I am blessed. Feel great and no side effects. On a low dose.

I have been on several different antipsychotics with many side effects, and Loxapine has been very effective in treating my hallucinations and delusions with minimal side effects. The other antipsychotics made me gain weight because I was always hungry which is not the case with Loxapine. I do get fast heartbeats at times, sweat when standing for prolonged periods, and have difficulty falling asleep, but I do take it at night. I sleep well once asleep. and I'm able to think clearly the next day/ I work and go to school and I wouldn't be able to on any of the other antipsychotics that make you drowsy all the time. I do wish I didn't have the blank look on my face all the time, but the benefits definitely outweigh the side effects. I am truly grateful for this drug. It has changed my quality of life.

After several partially successful trials of atypical antiphsychotics, my doctor decided to try loxapine. I have mild tardive dyskinesia, but it's hard to say if that is due to the loxapine or the high doses of various combinations of atypical antipsychotics I've taken. It doesn't make me sedated and I've been able to lose all the weight I gained while taking the atypical antipsychotics. My blood glucose has increased a little since taking it.

It is a generic drug which makes it inexpensive 24.00 at Walmart. It has lowered my anxiety and decreased suicidal thoughts.

Was given Loxapine because it is an older drug. I cannot tollerate the newer drugs for bipolar disorder (mood stablizers). This drug did not make me swell up like the newer drugs do.
