Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

High doses or long-term use of molindone can cause a serious movement disorder that may not be reversible. The longer you use molindone, the more likely you are to develop this disorder, especially if you are a woman or an older adult.

• (in women) irregular menstrual periods, breast or vaginal changes, nipple discharge;
• (in men) breast swelling, impotence;
• severe nervous system reaction–very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, feeling like you might pass out; or
• low white blood cell counts–fever, chills, mouth sores, skin sores, sore throat, cough, trouble breathing.

Common side effects may include:

• drowsiness;
• fast heart rate, feeling restless or nevous, being unable to sit still;
• blurred vision;
• dry mouth;
• little or no urination;
• nausea, constipation;
• breast swelling or discharge;
