no None Perphenazine was great for me.
at first i took 2mg am, then 2mg evening. i cant even remember if i had any startup SE. maybe some somnolence? but dont even think i had that. i stayed on that regimen for about year and half.
i think at one time i was down to just the am dose, and it was working well. as my anxiety tends to peak about 11-11:30ish.then towards the end i went from 2m BID to 2mg am and 4mg pm and i think in about a week i became more depressed however i was more depressed.. so not sure if it was increase in med or not. i ended up adding zyprexa to the mix (again) and became better. no issues either with mixing zyprexa and perphenazine, although when i upped to 10mg zprexa i did stop the perphenazine as the zyprexa killed the anxiety dead.
ive since gone off perphenazine. however, i would never hesitate to go back on it.
it worked very well for me.best wishes.
