Experiences with

Flupentixol

I went to two psychiatrists yesterday and one gave me Mocalm (Flupentixol 0.5 mg, Melitracen 10mg) to try, and in the meantime I have been trying to incorporate at least 10 minutes of cardio exercise into my day, practicing deep breathing, researching mindfulness and meditation, going to church and praying

I visited two different psychiatrists yesterday and was given Mocalm to try (Flupentixol 0.5 mg, Melitracen 10mg, I think it may be under a different trade name in other parts of the world). The prescribing psychiatrist claims it works well while not having the dependency issues of Xanax.

Has anyone taken flupentixol for anxiety? I am really struggling with severe anxiety and now depression and can’t find a med I can tolerate and so the psych has prescribed it and I’m already anxious! Any success stories?

Hi I’m about to go on flupentixol as all other meds have failed and wondered if anyone else has a success story on this for severe anxiety and depression?? Xxx

Hi my second post about this....I’m about to go on flupentixol as all other meds have failed and wondered if anyone else has a success story on this for severe anxiety followed by depression?? I’m desperate for anyone to let me know if it helped?? Xxx

I just wandering if any of you have any good or bad experience with this medication (flupentixol 500 microgramas) for those who read all my post knows that I suffer from depression and horrible anxiety..

The Flupentixol has been upped to help me cope, the Zopiclone is still about helping me sleep, despite the maximum dose putting me to sleep I wake up 4-5 hours later. So yes, the tics are worse and I need something short of a pharmaceutical plank to knock me out.

The Flupentixol has kicked in thank goodness, I’m at least ticcing less but I still haven’t found somewhere to live, I’ve trailed around estate agents offices, ploughed through the internet, seen advert after advert reiterating the same mantra “NO PETS, NO SMOKERS, NO DSS” The cats and smokers are negotiable

I now don’t, I have been feeling suicidal, my Flupentixol dose has been increased, my tics have gone through the roof, I have a mouth full of ulcers and my appetitive is erratic, as is my sleep.

Since then I have been OK (considering), the village pharmacy messed up my meds, knowing that I was laid up with a sprained ankle they forgot to deliver my meds supply thus leaving me without any Carbarmazipine and Flupentixol, suffered nasty headaches, felt dizzy, faint and nauseous and my hands sometimes

For those not in the know “the stupids” are a nasty side effect from taking too many crazy meds, as I take a yummy cocktail of Carbarmazipine, Flupentixol, Venlaflaxine and often cocodamol the lights are on but nobody’s home.

Flupentixol, this could be a strong reason why, after all it is an anti-psychotic and since starting on it others have noticed I have become a bit more muted. 3. Tics have naturally waned, tics wax and wane, the tide comes in, the tide goes out, and this is what happens.

This is a side effect of the Flupentixol as it can do things to your blood thus making you prone to bruising I should talk to my GP or my CPN about it but I’ll have to wait until Monday and I hate to been seen as a winging hypochondriac. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hu1cYDW1FY&feature=related

I’ve also been given Flupentixol, to help lift my mood, it has a bit, but I’m feeling quite tired and a bit “out of it” I feel like a walking (only if I really have to) chemist shop. I have however made contact with my CPN (are you receiving me?)

Anyway back to my appointment, I’m doing pretty well at the moment tic-wise, to be honest I didn’t really notice it until my consultant asked me about the Flupentixol that my Psychiatrist prescribed me, as an anti-psychotic it would make sense that Flupentixol could help with tics and yes, it has, intially

This leads me onto my scary thought; currently I take a cocktail of “crazy meds” Venlaflaxine, Flupentixol and Carbarmazipine.

Firstly, I feel so tired, I could just crawl into a corner and sleeeeepp for a long time, this I guess is one of the side-effects of the new med that have been added to my collection, Flupentixol, and I’d love to hear Rowan Atkinson say “Flupentixol”.
