Is anyone on Perphenazine atm?

I think I want to go back on it. If you are on it can to tell me about your side effects and whether or not there is weight gain.

I’ve been on it in the last year.

I didn’t gain weight.

But I couldnt stay awake on it.

My pnurse wanted me on at least 24 mg. But i couldnt tolerate more than 8. She had told me to increase as I wanted, but that was hellish.

I tried to please her, but I just couldn’t. Even on 8 mg, i fell several times. Nearly broke my wrist the last time, and that made me change meds.

There’s others here with good experience though. It just wasn’t for me.

I’m not on it rn but was for years

I didn’t have much side effects at all, no weight gain, didn’t make me tired

It was a good med in my experience but for whatever reason it stopped working for me

I am taking 24mg daily.

I have sedation and weight gain from it.

It helps with anxiety and positive symptoms but not much for my negatives.
