For Bipolar Disorder "I just started this medicine again because I tried to tough it out again with just sleeping pills. I hated Seroquel. I want to be able to move and not gain so much weight. I know now it's impossible. I feel worse or take the consequences. I have bipolar disorder with psychosis, PTSD, and severe depressive disorder with panic attacks, agoraphobia. I act on an impulse, it goes on and on. I'd just like to see if you people had any luck. I'm tired of bad meds. I'm 43 and still praying."

Perphenazine for Psychosis "I was prescribed this in 2014 when I was 13 years old. It gave me permanent side effects. They include, widened waist that I cannot shrink, weird movements with my face. I have to do patterns in every single part of my body. It made my eyes look opposite ways, which now in 2019, is still there but not as bad. It made me gain weight, it made my skin dull and grey, like I was dead. I wish I could include a picture. It made me have a permanent tremor, too. It's a horrible drug. My posture now sucks, and I can't breathe if I try to fix it. I can no longer tan after I took it. I was tan my whole life, now my natural tanning peels off, and I am white. I was never white."

For Psychosis "I have been on medicine from 2016 to 2018, gained 30 to 40 pounds. Sometimes it is hard to do anything, and I cannot focus very well. In the last 4 months, I am having to shuffle my feet and feel like I might fall over. Wish to find other medicine doctor can give me."
