> What side-affects do you get?
Tiredness from the pericyazine, a sexual side effect from the flupenthixol and a little weight gain from both. When I started pericyazine I got some hypotension (I passed out on one occasion) it passed after a few weeks. I also got some extrapyramidal side effects these were easily managed with procyclidine and I was able to discountinue it without them returning after a month.
> What affects do you get?
From the pericyazine I get a decrease in anxiety, less paranoia when I am outside and generally I feel a lot calmer. From the flupenthixol I get a decrease in hallucinations, delusions and intrusive thoughts and also a boost in my mood and concentration. If I miss a dose for whatever reason I am always amazed by the difference in me, meandering, listless, apathetic and prone to staring into space. I also take the antidepressant mirtazapine which helps me maintain a more stable mood.
Hope this is of some help, Best regards, Bunny
