Decreased perphenazine to 2 8mg a day. And put zyprexa up to 20mg, with the option to take more! Anyways I stoped perphenazine cold turky on thursday because it was making me too tired. Anyways I feel great now that I'm off perphenazine.
Just taking 2 10mg z's a day, and still too tired some of the time. Particularly when I'm off work. So today I cut z into 2 5mg and a 10mg.
I have not told my pdoc about the perphenazine yet, thought I would call her in a week if still off it.
Mainly since stoping p, I've noticed my brain waking up. Sort of like its unfrozen. And with the z, I'm still losing weight and not hungry all the time. So that is good.
So what does this mean. There is no replacement AP for Z. I tried abilify, risperdal, geodon and perphenazine. Plus what ever they were giving me in the mental hospital. All those meds made me worse.
Olanzapine 5mg x3
