I am in the middle of a “severe reactive depression” (as my pdoc puts it). For a few weeks 1.5 mgs Lozazapam worked fine. Then 2.0 mgs were needed. Then I would wake up after 4 hours. My pdoc put me on Trazadone as well but I still woke up because of the anxiety. I tried Seroquel but it made me more jumpy. I just tried a small dose of perphenazine and it seems to work on the anxiety. I am scared about the nasty side effects of this 30 year old anti-psychotic but I am risking the small dose because it is the only thing that has given me relief. I still feel like crap, but I’m not jumping out of my skin.
