> I've never taken Triavil. As you will know, it contains amitriptyline and perphenazine. I certainly won't be trying it because a) I tried amitriptyline and it made me ill! and b) perphenazine can cause akathisia (it is similar to Haldol).
> The strong anticholinergic effect of amitriptyline may be able to offer some protection from the akathisia. When I took the chlorpromazine I had severe akathisia AND severe anticholinergic side effects all at once! It was horrible. I guess the same thing might happen to me if I took Triavil. It could have a completely different effect on you though- good luck :-)
> Ed.Hi Ed,
Just want to tell you that I tried Motival which is Nortriptyline+Fluphenazine and it gave more horrible Akathisia and dysphoria; Fluphenazine is a horrible drug for me...
I also tried Flupewnthixol 1mg a day : 1st day was OK it gave saome clean stimulating effect , but on 3rd day I started to have severe leg restlessness which was the beginig of akathisaia so I stopped....
Also I tried Trifluperazine (stellazine)and also it gave me horrible akathisia.
Last I tried Sulpiride and at 50mg it gave me a feeling of indifference ,but at 100mg I felt depressed and so apathetic + some restlessness.In the end I keep away from all AP's since I believe they should be reserved only for psychotic disorder and not for mood and anxiety disorder (Akathisia was the worst side effect that ever happened to me and I'm not willing to have it again )
