Hello,

Perphenazine is a med I was gonna look at. I think its Zyprexa (the poster) that said she has had a good experience with it and I believe she combines the two (Zyprexa and perphenazine).

Any thoughts as to how this med will get along with Zyprexa, klonopin, and Nardi?

I think it has sedative properties and I didn't see weight gain as a side effect. Weight gain and insomnia are both becoming problems.

Thanks for the advice,

Jade
