Thanks all for the replies :)
My psychotic symptoms are moderate auditory hallucenations (voices, constant music),minor visual hallucenations, tactile hallucenations coincidental to my phobia of any flying bug, racing thoughts, persecutory and other delusions, racing thoughts.
It seems I have some more homework to do. I have wanted to try a drug washout. The problem is that I don't honestly know how stable I would be. The meds I'm on have done a little to curb suicidal ideation, guilt and anxiety. I really could end up trying to kill myself. I really don't know. Factor in Effexor withdrawals.
How long does Tegretol take to have a effect? It is the one mood stabilizer I have been on solo. After one month, titirating from 100-400 mg there were no effects but side effects. In fact, I haven't felt much relief until I started the Perphenazine 3 weeks ago.
A lot of what you all told me makes sense. I have an appointment with my pdoc in a couple of weeks. I think I'm ready to talk to him about it. Thanks again.
