I take some perphenazine daily and I can take more as needed for anxiety or depression. I also take the beta blocker Bystolic (nebivolol) to counter the tachycardia, heart palpitations, and anxiety that my antidepressant desipramine gives me. Most of my psych meds are prescribed by my pdoc, but the Bystolic is from my family practice doctor. I take the 2.5 mg dose of it daily. I asked if I could also take some more of the Bystolic as needed, and she wrote my Rx that I could have one (more) a week as needed. I was kind of mad and thought that was pretty stingy of her, but I have only used it that way once in over a year, so it has been okay.
A nice thing about perphenazine and Bystolic is that they help anxiety and yet are not addictive. Also relatively weight-neutral I think.
