I have been on it for 2.5 weeks. Increased gradually from .5 mg to 1 mg once a day to 1 mg twice a day. The last transition happened as an accident actually because I took it twice in one day not intentionally and it helped tremendously with the voices, severe paranoia, and hallucinations. So my pdoc allowed the mistake to stay. The only thing I see is that this anti-psychotic is meant to treat depression and schizophrenia. I am diagnosed Bipolar with severe psych features, but I know that this means mainly becoming psychotic during a mood swings. I have constant voices, have constant paranoia, and hallucinations, even out of mood swings. They get worse in a mood swing though. Anyway, I am glad to have a AP that is working again.

Anyone else tried it?

I am glad for you. My trilafon (perphenazine) is for schizophrenia too - I am not diagnosed with that. I was worried, but my therapist said not to - that if something works, it works.
