Talk:Thioridazine

Thioridazine chemical structure and enantiomery.
The chemical name of thioridazine given should be: 10-{2-[(RS)-1-Methylpiperidin-2-yl-]ethyl}-2-methylsulfanylphenothiazine (emphasis on (RS)-, since thioridazine is a chiral molecule that is usualy distributed as a racemate); its chemical formula given in the drugbox isn't correct, either; it has an aliphatic chain connecting the phenothiazine tricycle with the piperidine heterocycle of one -CH2- groupement too long; its correct chemical structure (with two-carbon-chain and chiral bond displayed), along with correct systematic name is given here: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/9428/thioridazinetextbm5.png the structure without text is here: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7919/thioridazinero1.png could someone be so kind and upload this? How do I upload an image on Wiki?--Spiperon 05:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

subjugation by drugs
as a child in a childrens institution i was unwillingly administered

melleril
]]in hindsight i see the reasoning for their actions, yet wonder if it was a criminal act ? i did not agree to take it. it was added to meals and/or drinks to make one more manageable .i did not have a psychiatric illness to warrent the administration of this heinous substance, and am thanking the lord i did not get ill from it being forced upon me .my heart goes out to others who were not so lucky .how many in australia, or elsewhere suffered the same futility of forced drugging ? how did you cope ? what are you doing to right the wrong ?11:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)58.169.194.234 (talk)k.r.s australia

Mellaril I too was forced to take Mellaril(thioridizine) as a teen in a state hosp.It caused great malaise,sexual impotency and sterility,agitation,dry throat and intense thirst so that I actually ruptured my stomach drinking water.It was a terrible period.Knocked senseless most of the time.No interest in anything.I talked like I was drunk,and couldn't keep a thought long enough to express it,so I rarely finished a sentance.This condition continues today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.191.184.81 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Add another "me too". Though I'm not sure which article would be most appropriate to add this, enough literature has been written about misuse of anti-Psychotic medications in the troubled teen industry(TTI) in the U.S. during the 70's and 80's to warrant some kind of inclusion in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:907F:EF6D:258F:5339:844C:81F5 (talk) 10:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
