My pdoc wants to get me off Geodon and change the Zyprexa to Trilafon (perphenazine) in a few months. Do you have any experience with it, and if so, do you like it? What kind of side effects have you had? I'm not at all sure I want to do this, especially since it's an old AP and I'm afraid of tardive dyskinesia and extrapyramidal symptoms. But I guess I've got to keep an open mind.
It would be nice to get off one of the APs but I think I'd rather stay on Zyprexa since that's the one that works.
