Patient's question:
Over the past two years, I've been in poor mental health, constantly anxious and troubled. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. The doctor prescribed many medications, but they haven't shown any improvement. I switched to another hospital, and the new doctor prescribed me a different medication—perphenazine. I don't know if it will be effective.What kind of assistance I need: What is the main scope of application for perphenazine?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this medication is suitable for various types of acute and chronic schizophrenia, mania, and Tourette's syndrome. It is effective in suppressing agitation, restlessness, hostile emotions, and aggressive behavior. Due to its fewer cardiovascular adverse reactions, it can also be used for organic brain disorders and elderly mental disorders. It is recommended that you consider your own symptoms and weigh the pros and cons, then take the traditional Chinese medicine Xiaoyao Pill. It is used for conditions such as hypochondriac pain, depression, low-grade fever, and mammary lumps caused by liver qi stagnation, blood deficiency, and spleen weakness. The specific manifestations include: distending and wandering pain in the hypochondria, increased appetite, belching, or nausea and vomiting.
