> i'm going to have to restart perphenazine this weekend. my anxiety is so bad i've been nauseous all week, i'm doing some weird shoulder/neck movement obsessively that is now giving me muscle cramps-aches, and some weird sniffing/snorting tick that i cant take anymore.
> its making me want to just lay in my closet...
>
> thing is perphenazine works great for a couple months, then seems to bring some depression on.
>
> are there any other solutions out there. and PLEASE dont ask me for zyprexa, im still carrying 30lbs of the weight i gained over the winter from that.
>
> also, every SSRI i've been on i've had manic issues with, so most likely that is not an option.
>
> i take benzo's and they make me...heavy. i dont mind taking them a couple times a week but to do daily i know would start up my depression and feeling like there's cement in my head.
>
> i'm also open to (cheap)herbal supplements.
>
> currently on:
> Pristiq 100mg
> adderall 20mg BID
> Gabapentin (averaging 8/day (2400mg))
> xanax been averaging 2mg/day
>
> last three nights i've been wired at night so ive started drinking. now i really feel like crap so thats why i'm starting the perphenazine for anxiety/aggitation.

> b2cGeodon or Risperdal. Clomipramine, if you can take the side effects.
