I had the Parkinson's effect from taking thorazine & compazine at the same time. I'm not sure how long I was on them before it started, but one day, found that I could not walk. Even lying in bed hurt my whole body. It was strange to have to have some one walk me into the bathroom. I couldn't eat because I couldn't coordinate my hands & food. At first I wondered what awful thing I was to live with now, but after going to the ungent care, they suggested that I go off the thorozene. I stopped that immediately, figuring that it might take about a week to get out of my system. I continued the same for weeks...scared me to think I would be like this forever. I went back to my neuroligist, & he did some tests & reviewed the meds I was on. He thought to dc the compozine, so I tried that. I continued like that, which really made me think there was no hope. Several more visits, & I continued to not take those meds. Finally one day, I found that I could actually lay comfortably in bed, & could actually walk again, & even feed myself. After that experience, I have been so careful as to putting any meds into my system. It scared me to the point I don't want to take anything for fear of what it can do to me.
