I've been prescribed Navane 10mg Capsules (Thiothixene) to help manage my schizophrenia, and I'm hoping to connect with others who have experience with this medication. I've been taking it for a few weeks, and while I've noticed some improvements in my symptoms, I'm also concerned about the potential side effects. I've read about the risk of tardive dyskinesia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which are both terrifying. I'm also struggling with some dizziness and fatigue, which are making it hard to go about my daily life. Has anyone else experienced these issues or know of ways to mitigate them? Additionally, I'm curious about the long-term effects of this medication. How has it impacted others over extended periods? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
