So I haven’t been coming here as often. I think partly because I’m feeling better and more fulfilled cause my med change. I’ve been on perphenazine for two years now. It’s amazing for symptom reduction and I felt pretty good for a long time. But the past few months on it were rough. I had trouble sleeping and overall felt highly uninterested, unmotivated, and kinda in a negative mood. So at the beginning of the month I got on zyprexa. I’m on my final week of tapering off perphenazine and will soon be solely on zyprexa. My mood and how I feel about myself and the world has improved. I just feel good. I just came for an update. I have good news about my brother as well I’ll post in a different thread.
