Stelazine (trifluoperazine) "I take 1mg/daily. So far it is very effective, I tend to be able to be more relaxed and can sleep with clear and peaceful thoughts where I used to be laying in bed 20 minutes thinking too much. But seems not to do much for my social anxiety. Overall, pretty effective."

"I'm on sertraline 100mg since 4 month ago. My sex drive was dead! And no change in anxiety just better in OCD. It has been one day that I started this pill 2mg every day and after 1 day, boom you can't imagine how good it was for my anxiety and even no more erection and orgasm problems =) Thank you."

"I started having myoclonic jerks with this medication. I was taken off of it and the jerks went away. However, I still cannot walk right. I have a terrible time with balance. I lost my job over this. This drug ruined my life"

Stelazine (trifluoperazine) "Taken alongside Lithium, Quetiapine for bipolar one. This medication is old but very effective against anxiety associated with bipolar disorder. No side effects apart from feeling a little drowsy at times."

"I took this about 45 years ago in my 20's, for several years for anxiety, when it was called Stelazine. Now it is only available as the generic trifluoperazine. I've had a prostate and bladder condition for s few years now and often suffer nocturia, needing to go every 20 minutes once I go to bed at night. This often can last the entire night until 8AM-9AM. In desparation I tried this drug again and found that 1mg quiets my bladder within an hour and lets me sleep. Even if I do get up every hour or two, I can get back to sleep. Other overactive bladder meds have unacceptable side effects on me of dry mouth, and greatly lowered BP. This has no side effects, calms me down, reduces the frequency about 75% and lets me sleep."

"Grateful for being on 1-2mg/day as it helped me feel glued back together and my perception could be more central versus diffuse. I went off due to fears of extra pyramidal effects, though I personally never experienced any while on the drug for about 1-2 years (can’t remember exactly). I think I was on Wellbutrin at the same time. Didn’t struggle then as I do now (off all drugs for 2 years) with insomnia, hypervigilance, and loss of sense of self among others! Thanks for your posts here! Very helpful. Wondering if I should go back on this drug because it helped, or if a “safer” one."

"Its helped my mind get alot quieter but I still know my son, brother and boyfriend playing with my head and refuse to tell the truth, so i just take it in and laugh. Lately it kind helps me laugh, if I think to much it becomes a distraction at work."
