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.

I've been on Navane for about a year now, and it's been a game-changer for me. I had some initial side effects, but they subsided after a few weeks. Stick with it, and if you have concerns, talk to your doctor. They might be able to adjust your dosage.

Navane saved my life, literally. Before it, I was a mess. Now, I can hold down a job and have a somewhat normal life. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than it was.

I've had no issues with Navane, but I've also had no luck with it either. It just didn't do much for me. Everyone's different, so it's worth a shot, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't work for you.

Be careful with this med. I developed severe muscle spasms and had to stop taking it. It was terrifying. Make sure you're in close contact with your doctor.

I had a friend who took Navane and ended up with some serious movement issues. It was awful to watch. I'm not saying it's the same for everyone, but be cautious.

I'm worried about the long-term effects too. I've heard horror stories about tardive dyskinesia. Is it worth the risk? I wish there were more studies on this stuff.

I've been on Navane for years, and it's been great for me. I haven't had any major side effects, just a bit of drowsiness. It's a small price to pay for the stability it's given me.

I take Navane and works well. It is a tough medication, but it helps me live a more normal life. I would recommend it, but you need to weigh the pros and cons. Talk to your doctor to see what's right for you.

Navane helped me a lot, but the weight gain was brutal. I had to start a strict diet and exercise routine just to keep it under control. It's a tough one, but it's worth it if it helps with your symptoms.

I had a mild allergic reaction when I first started taking Navane. It was just a rash, but it was scary. My doctor switched me to a different medication, and I'm doing much better now.
