In reply to ANY STELAZINE EXERIENCES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!, posted by ace on April 27, 2005, at 23:49:45
I take stelazine on and off. 1 to 4 milligrams at bedtime. (I tend to get sedated by most drugs. It would be better to take twice a day but I can not.) I find it helpful. Not a miracle drug. Sometimes everything that I've put off for months gets down in a few days. Other times I just feel less anxious. When my father died it helped me deal with all the hundreds of people I had to deal with at the funeral, etc. The big side effect: My mind is kinda blank after a week. It feels stuffed with cotton. Zombie-like. By a helpful coincidence, I discovered that the alzheimer's drug reminyl takes away the "blankness." At 37, I obviously don't have alzheimer's. (I tried another drug called exelon but that didn't work for me as well.) I'll only take stelazine for more that a week if I can take reminyl with it. Luckily my doc and insurance company go along with this unusual combo. Good Luck, River.
