I wanted to reply to this topic because I would like to know more about others' experience with Nozinan (Levomepromazine, also known as methotrimeprazine), since it's one of the medications I've been prescribed.
I also take Quetiapine (Seroquel) at a dosage of 600mg/day, and I have been taking Quetiapine for quite a while now, like 5 years or so... I don't get anymore any of the side-effects, like feeling sleepy or drowsy, but I did gain a lot of weight because of it.
I wrote about Quetiapine just to say that the "sleepy, drowsy" and anxiolitic effect is so much more intense with Nozinan and it seems these effects do not fade away with time. I'm prescribed 200mg/day, I take one on the afternoon and another one at bed time, it takes about 1-2h for it to kick in...
It's my prefered medication for my anxiety (I also take Clonazepam [Klonopin] 6mg/day on the top of Quetiapine - not used only for my anxiety for also as a mood-stabilizer), and it's my prefered medication for anxiety because you feel such a "peace" when it begins its effects...
It's a very strong medication - I read somewhere that it's among the most sedating antipsychotics... So if you are looking for something to really calm you down, this is the one. I use it only for my anxiety and as a sleep-aid,,, For stabilizing my mood, I'm prescribed Quetiapine and Depakote ER.
No quetiapine (seroquel) will ever make you feel so "numb", specially in higher doses (Here where I live Nozinan is also sold in 25mg pills, 25mg does absolute nothing for me, but a friend of mine, which used Levomepromazine for some time, told me 25mg made she totally "numb", I need 100mg at least to feel something)
Does anybody else have experienced Nozinan (Levomepromazine)? I'm curious to read others' opinion.
Best wishes to you all!
