Hi,

My experience with Thorazine....

About 2 years ago I had a severe episode of OCD. While I was waiting for citalopram to work my pdoc gave me a prescription for Thorazine because I was desperate for relief.

Effects........

25mg dose... drowsiness, mental slowing, mild dry mouth, no relief of OCD whatsoever.

50 mg dose.... some increased anxiety.

I got desperate and took 150mg (max. daily dose is 1000mg) because my OCD was making me suicidal.....

Result.........

Severe anxiety,
VERY severe akathisia- I was writhing and shouting,
Dystonia of tongue.
Mental confusion,
strong anticholinergic side effects.

Went to ER........

Took 60 mg (12 tabs) of Valium to calm me down. At first they wouldn't give me more than 5mg so I has to make a scene and threaten to kill myslelf. I was the worst distress of my life- would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Ed.
