Navane 5mg Capsules (Thiothixene) for Schizophrenia: Experiences and Side Effects

#Schizophrenia #Thiothixene #MentalHealth

I've been prescribed Navane 5mg Capsules to help manage my schizophrenia. The medication is supposed to help reduce hallucinations and disorganized thinking, which sounds promising. However, I've read about some serious side effects like tardive dyskinesia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What were your side effects, and how did you manage them?

I'm also curious about the long-term effects. Are there any success stories or tips on managing the more severe side effects? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Be very careful with this med. I developed tardive dyskinesia after a few years. It was scary, and I had to switch meds ASAP.

Seriously, if you experience any of the severe side effects, go to the hospital. Don't mess around with this stuff.

I've been on Navane for a few months now, and it's been helping with the hallucinations. I did experience some dizziness at first, but it went away. Just be cautious and stay in touch with your doctor.

I've heard some horror stories about this med, but also some success stories. Just remember, everyone's different. Stay informed and in touch with your doctor.

Navane worked wonders for me. I haven't had any major side effects, just some drowsiness. But it's worth it to have my mind back.

I had a friend who had to stop taking Navane because of severe dizziness. It's a bummer, but everyone's different.

I wish more people would talk about the weight gain. It's a real bummer. But I guess that's better than the hallucinations.

I'm on a lower dose, 2mg, but it seems to be helping. Just wanted to say, don't be afraid to ask your doctor for adjustments if needed.
