Fluphenazine can cause dry mouth, and I found out the hard way that it can seriously impact your dental health. Make sure to stay hydrated and brush your teeth regularly and floss too. I wish someone had told me this when I started taking the medication.

Tangent, but anyone else notice a change in their sex drive? I've been on Fluphenazine for about a year now, and I've noticed that it's decreased. It can be hard to talk about, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this and what they did about it.

I had some really vivid dreams when I first started taking Fluphenazine. It was almost like a bad trip. I remember waking up multiple times in the middle of the night and feeling really disoriented. It got better after a few weeks, but it was rough at first. Anyone else experience this?

I was terrified of the potential side effects, but my doctor talked me through everything. He mentioned that the side effects are usually minor, but if I experienced anything severe, I should contact him right away. So far, so good. Just a bit of drowsiness, but it's manageable.

I've been on Fluphenazine for a long time and I had to switch to Fluoxetine, Fluphenazine was working well, but I kept getting weird muscle twitches and my doctor said it's possible that the medication was causing (Tardive Dyskinesia). I wish I had known about this before I started having symptoms.

Seriously, if you experience any of the serious side effects, DO NOT wait it out. Get to a doctor right away. I had a friend who ignored some symptoms and ended up in the hospital. Scary stuff.
