The cognitive problems predate the psychosis and meds. He had two very serious brain injuries, including one when he was 10 that required 18 hours of neuro-surgery. He lacks what they call executive function.
> I dunno what to tell you about the cognitive problems. My best guess would be to blame the perphenazine, but...that's sort of assuming that all old school APs cause cognitive problems. From what little I've read on the subject, using 2+ AP/AAP drugs for long term treatment isn't ideal. Risks go up, benefits aren't clear. Maybe he'd be better off on a higher dose of Latuda or on a higher dose of Perphenazine, but not both, combined.
