I've been prescribed Stelazine 5mg Tablets for schizophrenia, and while it's been helpful, I've noticed some troubling side effects. I've read about the potential for severe reactions, like allergic reactions, liver problems, and neurological symptoms, but I'm curious about how common these are. Has anyone else experienced these? I'm also worried about tardive dyskinesia—how likely is it, and what are the signs? I'd appreciate any insights or advice from those with similar experiences or medical expertise. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I had to switch off Stelazine because of the weight gain and dry mouth. It was too much for me. Now, I'm on a different medication. Talk to your doctor about alternatives if the side effects are too much to bear.

I had to switch off Stelazine because of the dizziness and weakness. It was too much for me. Now, I'm on a different medication. Talk to your doctor about alternatives if the side effects are too much to bear.

Tardive dyskinesia is no joke. It's a serious side effect, and it can be permanent. if you're worried, talk to your doctor about the risks and what to look out for. Early intervention is key.

I've been on this medication for a few months and haven't experienced any major side effects. Just a bit of drowsiness, but it's worth it for the stability it brings. Everyone's different, so don't lose hope if you're struggling.

My aunt was on Stelazine and she developed tardive dyskinesia. It was scary to see her go through that. If you notice any unusual movements, especially in the face, talk to your doctor immediately.

I've been on Stelazine for a year now, and while it helps with my anxiety, I've experienced some dizziness and fatigue. It's manageable, but I keep an eye out for the more serious side effects. My doctor says they're rare but to be vigilant.

I've been on Stelazine for a while and haven't had any major issues. Just the usual dizziness and drowsiness. But I keep an eye out for the serious side effects. It's all about staying informed and vigilant.

I agree with the previous comment. It's all about finding the right balance. If the side effects are too much, talk to your doctor. There are other medications out there that might work better for you.
