I've had Tourette's since I was a kid, and this was prescribed to me a few years ago. It definitely helped with the tics, but the restlessness and dry mouth were awful.
As a nurse, I've seen patients have serious reactions to this drug. Always scary when you see someone's muscles start to twitch uncontrollably.
I've seen this used in the ER and it's a game-changer for calming severe agitation. But the side effects can be brutal, especially the movement issues and sedation. Always need to monitor closely.
Why don't they prescribe this more often for agitation in the hospital? It's way more effective than some of the other drugs they use.
I had a friend who took this and ended up with a painful erection for hours. Had to go to the ER. Scary stuff.
I had a bad reaction to this drug. It made me hallucinate more than usual. That's the last time I'm trusting a new medication with my brain.
I've heard of people getting really low blood pressure from this. Always need to monitor closely and make sure the patient is stable.
The liver problems are no joke. My mom had to stop taking it because her doctors were worried about her liver enzymes.
My brother was on this for a while. It controlled his symptoms, but the side effects were bad. Memory problems and seizures scared us all.
I was given this after a severe psychotic episode. It worked fast, but I felt like a zombie for days. The doctor said it was better than the alternative, but it was rough.
