Is this a sleep medication? Any information would be helpful. ## would it be safe for a 15 year old ## what is perphen/amit tab 2-25mg used for? ## @av12, Based on my research, Perphenazine + Amitriptyline is used to treat depression occurring with other mental/mood disorders (such as anxiety, agitation, schizophrenia). This medication is a combination of a tricyclic antidepressant (amitriptyline) and an antipsychotic medication (perphenazine). Together, they restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin).

My wife ran out of this pill. She was taking two at bed time. Now she is having bad dreams and says her body hurts all over. She had neither problem while taking them. The doctor told us they do not make this pill anymore. Is there substitute for it? Thank You ## Perphen/Amit contains the active ingredients Perphenazine and Amitriptyline, it is used to treat various mental health disorders. Such withdrawal effects can be normal, if someone stops taking this medication suddenly, but they should wear off in a few weeks, as her body readjusts to not having the medication. As to a substitute, I am not sure, since I don't know where you are located.

I am taking amox clav. can I take amitruptaline with perphenazine also ## Hello, Joyce! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. Is your health care provider aware that you are taking both? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

found a small white tablet blank on obe side and a number 2 on the other, what is this? ## I'm pretty sure these are perphenazine 2mg, I have a small sum of the same pills, they are an antipsychotic medication used for bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia/schizo-effective disorders. Some doctors (like the i****s that prescribe seraquil for sleep) will prescribe this as a sleep aid as well..I hope this helps, I'm trying to make 100% sure they are perphenazine myself (friend gave them to me 'cause my psychiatrist "forgot" to refill me) but I'm almost positive, he takes the same as I (400mg seraquil and 2mg perphenazine). I will comment again once I'm certain that this pill is perphenazine.
