My psychiatrist suggested is as an antipsychotic switch as an alternative to haloperidol. It is a very old antipsychotic. It shouldn’t increase prolactin.
Who is on it and who has info about it? It would be appreciated.

Yeah ive been on fluanxol injections for a year off it now. It felt the same as all other antipsychotics. It got rid of my psychosis but caused side effects like cognitive problems, emotionally numb, no energy. I slept a lot on it. Like 10 hours a day and i would also take a nap in the day.
I’m not of fluanxol(Depixol) but on the other branch Clopixol. I’ve been on that meds for 27 years in injections and I’m doing better than ever and has only got minor side effects. Fluanxol is said to work as well as Risperdone. Besides of that it has a lot fewer side effects than Haldol and is a lot gentler to the libido than Risperdone.
