If I ever take Thorazine for crisis intervention, I will not drive for several days afterwards. And I will never take it for maintenance. Too scary and experience it was. Just thinking of what could have happened makes me nauseous.
I'm glad you got through that without harm. Those are good resolutions.

Thorazine is real old and it can cause tardive dyskinisia, if you stay on it for years. I'm afraid of antipsychotics.
