I tried to replace the zyprexa with perphenazine almost a decade ago. Never happened. I now take some zyprexa and some perphenazine. The mix is working realy well with added Cannabidiol. I was at a place where I was taking atleast 20mg zyprexa and my sugars were high at the time. I think the sugar problem was from the geodon I took right before all this. It did go away over time. Now I take 13-20mg zyprexa and 3x 8mg perphenazine a day. I take the zyprexa split into 3 doses a day, which works better than one dose at once. I am also taking Teva olanzapine now, it seems to be the one which has least weight gain. I've maintained my wieght at about 200lbs for the last 4 years now.
What i'm saying is perphenazine didn't replace the zyprexa well enough. But the mix at lowere doses of each was better than one or the other.
I don't get any side effects from either med except sedation. And zyprexa induces a little hunger, I was not eating before taking it. Perphenazine is no more sedating than zyprexa. You could probably take more than 2 mg, which would not have that much of an effect.
But who knows you might replace zyprexa. Will mention that the blood sugar problem takes time to fix itself. I was diabetic 6 years ago. Not now. And they say diabeties never goes away. I don't take any meds for diabeties anymore, for a long time. I would reduce the zyprexa slowly while raising the perphenazine over time. Not all a once.
