Yes but unlikely. NO: Among all medications for schizophrenia ( antipsychotics/ old and new ) , perphenazine is mild and least likely to cause seizures at the dose you are taking. All medications available till now can potentially make seizures worse.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
