Schizophrenia
"Was prescribed this for schizophrenia. It took away psychotic symptoms yes but had horrible side effects to begin with and I put on nearly 7 stone because of this drug. And I&#039;ve had slurred, stuttered speech ever since taking it. I really want to come off this medication but fear becoming ill again for my family&#039;s sake. Been on it for nearly 3 years now.

I&#039;m on a fortnightly injection. I have also been given this drug in tablet form to treat anxiety before, didn&#039;t really do anything for me, felt no obvious change to feelings. Something like zolpidem (yes I&#039;m aware it&#039;s sleeping medication) really makes me feel more relaxed and at ease, that&#039;s what I want out of anti anxiety medication. So anxiety wise I think it&#039;s pretty rubbish."
