replace Abilify with perphenazine?

Posted by Christ_empowered on April 10, 2014, at 16:54:55

I take 30mgs/Abilify. I'm thinking about an older AP. I have either schizoaffective of the manic persuasion or severe bipolar I. I also take 1200/Trileptal and up to 300/Neurontin (I dropped my Tofranil).
Are there any other older APs that are probably "better than the rest" ? I've heard loxapine, but it seems dosing is tricky.
Anyone out there take perphenazine? I'm thinking that if I get switched to perph, I might A) save the tax payers money (on disability) and b) get a lower level of overall neuroleptic exposure, while still maintaining results. Docs like to ramp up abilify when you're really mentally ill. Ugh.
So...yeah...I was thinking Perphenazine, Trileptal, PRN Neurontin, and a nightly dose of Remeron, maybe start around 30. What do you guys think>
