For Psychosis "I suffer from hebrephrenic schizophrenia, but that diagnosis is now obsolete. Presently, my illness is characterized as undifferentiated schizoaffective disorder. Symptoms included hearing voices, easily distracted, and violent rages for no reason. My previous treatment was with Mellaril, but for the past 2 years, my life has improved dramatically. I am on 32 mg/day of Trilafon, 20 mg of Valium, 20 mg/day Celexa, 1500 mg/day Depakote, and 25 mg/day dextroamphetamine. This is the most effective combination of drugs that I have ever taken, except my anxiety may require an increase in my Valium."

Perphenazine for Psychosis "I was put on this drug, erroneously I believe, as I was only suffering a major depressive episode in 1974. From that time until I went through menopause in 1997 (23 years), I had the side effect galactorrhea. I was never pregnant or post-breastfeeding during that time and took no other medication with that side effect."
