Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While antipsychotic medications such as perphenazine can be effective in reducing symptoms of schizophrenia in many patients, some patients may not respond well to these medications. This is a known phenomenon and does not necessarily mean that another medication or class of medications, such as amphetamines or L-dopa, should be tried. It is important for the prescribing physician to work with the patient to determine the best course of treatment based on their individual needs and response to medication.
