This medicine is a true blessing. It has allowed me to spend more meaningful time with my dad. The doctor was happy to prescribe it and it seems very safe. We even got a free 30 day does. The company does a lot of outreach to make sure we get the pills and works with the insurance.

Worsened the condition horribly. Initial dose made him a vegetable for 12 hours. Subsequent doses made him mean with "alternate personalities". We took him off the drug (this was all with only 17mg - 1 pill), and the personalities and horrible meanness reduced, but the increase in psychosis remained and he also has OCD now that he never had before.

I am a caregiver. My wife has Parkinson’s disease. My wife was given a sample of this medication for hallucinations in April. She took it for four days. She was lost after that and couldn’t think straight. So she quit taking it. I notified her neurologist she was stopping and why.
September 25th she goes back to her neurologist and he gives it to her again. She takes it twice and now is very confused. She can’t figure out how to operate her iPhone that she’s had for years. She says it’s messed up. There’s nothing wrong with it. I will be sure she never takes this drug again. Hallucinations every now and then are better than being lost and confused ALL THE TIME!Read More Read Less

Extreme confusion after starting Nuplazid 17 mg. 2 pills per day. Also waking at night every couple of hours. Switched to taking pills in morning but confusion continued to get worse. Slept sitting on couch most of day or stared off into space. Stopped taking after seven weeks and don't plan on going back on the drug.
