I was on it from 1981-2002. They first put me on it when I was in the hospital. I was on a 120 mg a day. They don’t even give doses that high anymore. It was pretty sedating. When I got a job in 1982 my doctor slowly tapered me down to 60 mg a day. I was still dragging myself around, I told my family and my therapist I would just keep working until I dropped from exhaustion.
Prolixen worked though; I eventually got used to the side effects and was on a maintenance dose of 10 mg for a couple years. I went up and down on it from 5mg up to 15 mg. Finally in 2002 my doctor took me off it because he was afraid I would get TD. So I tried a few of the second generation drugs and resperidone is the one we settled on. Been on resperidone since 2002.
