User Reviews for Xenazine oral

I am having excessive head and neck sweating.

Was on Zyprexa before this was available.Continuing on Zyprexa and 75mg dose of xenezine. Has been very helpful, but not consistent. No side effects.

I take this medication for Tourette Syndrome...Have been taking for at leat 7 years. Was on it before FDA approval. Have helped with tics tremendously. Wonderful drug for me. I always have had depression...on Cymbalta for that.

Most of my involuntary movements have gone away since I started taking this drug about a year ago

Wife has Huningtons she has been on this drug for three years. At first it helped with the movements. This drug cost $8000 a month which is insane and not worth it in my opionion. Dr does not seem to have any alternatves. Canada has the same drug for less than $400??

I've been on this for 1 year. I'm now taking 25 mg three times daily with great results, less jerking and twitching. I was extremely tired on this, like a zombie, but it worked so well with the involuntary movements. My Dr put me on ritalin to help with the sleepiness and that worked. I did run out of xenazine for 1 week due to pharmacy shipping problem and I was right back to spasms, twitching and having a hard time with mobility. I did have major crying spells/ depression and my doctor put me on celexa. No problems now. I would highly recommend xenazine.Read More Read Less

Maintenance dose of 50mg a day helps.
