I just saw a commercial for this med! This is epic! I believe this is the first ever commercial advertising for schizophrenia! I had never even heard of it till now. Anyone got any input on this one??

I don’t know why but I very rarely hear of someone on that med.
Never heard of it.
When I was in the ward, the doc put me on fanapt. It dropped my blood pressure really low. He added haldol to it. I was sick from both of them.

Thanks for sharing @roxanna, what med are you on now?
I’ve seen a commercial for caplyta for schizophrenia. I’m surprised they’re advertising for the sz crowd.

I was on Fanapt for a while. 6mg twice a day. Didn’t work that well. Side effects weren’t bad though, just some sexual stuff and dry mouth.

Perphenazine Lexapro cogentin remeron. Perphenazine has been good just have to take despite a few side effects.

My doctor doesn’t like Fanapt.
It has the potential to cause heart issues.
It’s hardly ever used.

They should use perphenazine more often, it is a good med even if it is old.
