I've been prescribed Stelazine 1mg Tablets for severe anxiety. I'm a bit nervous about starting it because of the potential side effects. Has anyone here taken this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both positive and negative. Specifically, I'm curious about how it affected your anxiety and if you experienced any of the more severe side effects like tardive dyskinesia. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had a friend who took this and it caused some really bad liver issues. Just be careful and stay in touch with your doctor.

I think it's important to monitor any changes in mood or behavior. That can be a sign of something more serious.

I switched to something else because of the hormonal changes. It's a tough one to deal with.

Be careful with this stuff. I developed some weird muscle movements after a few months. Doctor said it might be tardive dyskinesia.

My doctor said the risk of tardive dyskinesia is higher the longer you take it. So I’m keeping an eye out for that.

I wish I'd known about the hormone changes. Had some really uncomfortable side effects.

I had a bad reaction to this med. landed in the ER. So be careful and listen to your body.

I found the dry mouth and dizziness to be the worst. But overall, it helped me manage my anxiety better.

I never had any major issues with Stelazine. Just the normal drowsiness and dry mouth. It worked well for me.

I took Stelazine for a while and it really helped with my anxiety. The drowsiness was a bit tough at first, but it got better over time.
