Can you continue to use Clopixol depot if you have side effects in the form of Parkinsonism?

The occurrence of side effects associated with zuclopenthixol, the active substance in Clopixol, is dose-dependent. The frequency and severity of symptoms (including movement disorders) may be greatest in the early stages of treatment and decrease as they continue. In this type of situation, the doctor may recommend additional measures that will relieve symptoms or, for example, reduce the dose of the drug. Unfortunately, antiparkinsonian drugs do not reduce tardive dyskinesia, and may even intensify them. You may need to use additional medications or change your treatment from zuclopentixol to another substance. However, this is a situation that is worth discussing with your attending physician and not stopping the drug on your own. There are many options for solving this type of problem, but your doctor should help you assess what will be the best way in your case.
