    Do you think there are risks in taking Deanxit alone without Clonazepam? I also got it prescribed by Dr. De Ridder but I am a bit scared about the drug given the number of countries that have decided not to market it. What do you think helps you the most between the two?

    Does Deanxit (Flupentixol/Melitracen) Help Tinnitus? Share Your Experiences

    Hi @Ben Winders, do you still take Deanxit from time to time? I was prescribed it by Dr. De Ridder but I am scared of the tardive dyskinesia side effect as it is irreversible. Were you also taking Clonazepam every day when taking Deanxit? I also have Flunazirine with Catapressan but am...
