Perphenazine - often sold under the brand name Trilafon - seems to be kind of like a catch-all psychiatric drug. It's an antipsychotic that shrinks like to feed to people of all ages who clearly aren't psychotic.
It's really more of a control drug that suppresses dissenting thoughts and behaviors but doesn't alleviate whatever symptoms (if any) are suffered by the person taking the drug.
Perphenazine is also known to cause tardive dyskinesia (which continues forever after use of the drug ends), glaucoma, heart problems, and progression of certain types of cancer. (The list of side effects reads almost like those you hear in drug commercials these days.)
Hardly anyone is going to warn you of this, of course, so you have to do your homework on it.
Now the FDA is warning doctors that Trilafon and similar drugs may pose a risk of death, especially for older people. The drugs covered by this warning include a class known as atypical antipsychotics as well as another known as conventional antipsychotics - of which Trilafon is a member. This updates an earlier action about atypical antipsychotics' increased risk of heart attack and pneumonia.
Are the programmies happy now that they've poisoned so many people without even letting them know how dangerous these drugs are until now?

I would assume that one day all psychiatric medication, primarily anti-depressants and anti-psychotics will be banned from the United States. It is just a matter of time before the American people demand the truth about the efficacy of these drugs. Many of us already know how dangerous and experimental these meds are. Unfortunately, it may be some time before enough people realize what has been done to them in the name of medicine. Big pharma knows what is going on and should be brought up on criminal and civil charges.
ReplyDeleteI have been on haldol for 20 years. I am diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic. The haldol has never helped however, the trilafan did help while i was on it for a brief period. it did cause a slight headache and i was being weaned off the haldol...the trilafan stopped the voices as long as the dosage was recently taken.
