Hi -
I just looked up perphenazine, was curious.
If I looked correctly, perphanazine is similar to an antipsychotic,
and although it says they don't know how it works very well in what I read,
it has "anti-dopamine" and "anti Serotonin-3" effects.
Provigil's effects are thought to be partly releated to dopamine and Serotonin-3 (increasing both in a certain part of the brain).I would think there's a good chance perphenazine counteracts provigil.
Btw, Serotonin-3 antagonists (ie; granisetron) effectively reduce stomach ache and increase hunger (opposite of possible provigil side effects, nausea and less hungry)
