I was recently prescribed Molindone HCl 5mg Tablets to manage my schizophrenia. The medication has been instrumental in helping me stabilize my moods and reduce the intensity of my symptoms. However, I've also experienced some side effects that I'm not too happy about. I've been on it for about 2 months now and would love to hear from others who have taken this medication. How have you managed the side effects, and have you noticed an improvement in your mental health? Also curious to hear from the medical community—any advice on coping with side effects? PS: Side effects, I've experienced include dry mouth, constipation, and some mood changes. But I'm worried about the more serious side effects listed. I've already talked to my doctor about them, but I'd like to hear from more people.

I've been on Molindone for a few months now, and while it's helped with my symptoms, I've also experienced some hormonal changes. Specifically, I've noticed some nipple discharge, which has been really concerning. Has anyone else dealt with this?

I recently had a serious reaction to Molindone. I noticed swelling in my face and throat, and I had trouble breathing. I ended up in the ER, and it turns out I was having an allergic reaction. I had to switch medications, but it was a close call. If you start experiencing anything like that, get help right away.

I've been on Molindone for a while and I've had some side effects, but nothing too serious. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend sticking with it and talking to your doctor about any issues you have. It might take some time to find the right dosage and balance, but it's worth it if it helps with your symptoms.

I've been pretty lucky with Molindone. I haven't experienced any of the severe side effects, just some mild drowsiness and a bit of blurred vision. I find that taking it at bedtime helps with the drowsiness.
