Hi Buns
>To cut a long story short his plan is that he wants to replace my current regiem of pericycazine with a different drug and wean off that over the course of nine months to a year.
Given that you're doing well on pericyazine, replacing it with a different AP seems remarkably illogical. A new drug could cause a whole host of new side effects and problems. Pericyazine is available as 2.5mg tablets which are suitable for use during withdrawal. You could reduce your daily dose by 2.5mg every few weeks.
Regards
Ed
