I take zyprexa and perphenazine. Other than zyprexa, perphenazine is the only AP I could tolerate. I've been taking perphenazine for about 8 years now, and zyprexa for 18. Zyprexa is better than perphenazine. But perphenazine does not have weight gain. It will also help with sleep. I can't say for sure what the perphenazine is doing, because I have never taken it alone. I tried discontinuing zyprexa but had some problems. I think at best I decreased the zyprexa a lot. Then I had some anger problems when I tried to d/c the perphenazine, so I didn't do that either. I think I was actually grumpy a lot before the perphenazine too.
Perphenazine alowed me to reduce my zyprexa at the time and weight has been more managable. Mind you I didn't eat before taking zyprexa.
When I reduced zyprexa, on perphenazine I also had some holucinations and time disorientation. That may have been the day I didn't take zyprexa, I'm not really sure. I was at work and froze in time not knowing what I was doing. For a brief second and snaped out of it. It gets a lot worse if I stop it for a long time. I have not totaly done that in over a decade now.
