Man I am thankful for my meds - but do they have to make me feel like I have the flu 2 hours after taking them?

Without fail I feel totally flu like for 2 hours.

Like lie down before it pass out type lightheadedness.

It is the flupenthixol - it notoriously causes malaise.

Can’t change it though as that is my magic bullet.

Will just have to wallow in twice daily feelings of plague

I am on fluanxol as well. I don’t think I get those symptoms! :face_holding_back_tears:

Edit: I do feel light headed when I stand up too fast.

What doses are you guys on?

I’m on 40mg Flupentixol injection every 3 weeks, and I feel it is too much

Hi @IceCat.

I think I’m on 150 mg every three weeks.

That’s a huge amount, I’m sure it obliterates your symptoms. Do you get akathisia, and take something for it?

No I don’t think I have that symptom. :sweat_smile:
