>can i ask, what do you think the perphenazine does for you versus the zyprexa? do they help two different things or are they a synergistic partners?
Perphanazine is a typical antipsychotic and pretty much hits dopamine receptors, whereas Zyprexa hits mostly 5htp receptors and some dopamine receptors.
>i am technically on the perphenazine for (was)for anxiety
Perphanizine has some anxiolytic properties, but is not as effective as some benzodiazapines.
Your doctor pushed up the dose of Perphanazine to treat the visual illusions because it is an antipsychotic
>'m cutting back and only notice a bit of scattered thoughts, that must be whats coming across??
Yes. Antipsychotics help with disorganized thinking.
>I wanted to skip tonight just to see how things are tomorrow and i meet with pdoc so if too bad he'll notice.
Right now the Perphanazine is serving you as an axiolytic, mostly, so if anything he might notice some increased nervousness.
>i should go to 5mg zyp. and stay there
You've been doing well at 10 mg. Why the change?
