Etrafon and Triavil
Etrafon and Triavil are used to treat anxiety, agitation, and depression.
Both Etrafon and Triavil is a combination of a tricyclic antidepressant
(amitriptyline) and a tranquilizer (perphenazine). Etrafon and Triavil
can also help people with schizophrenia (distorted sense of reality) who
are depressed and people with insomnia, fatigue, loss of interest, loss
of appetite, or a slowing of physical and mental reactions.
Both Etrafon and Triavil may cause tardive dyskinesia--a condition marked
by involuntary muscle spasms and twitches in the face and body. This condition
may be permanent and appears to be most common among the elderly, especially
women. Ask your doctor for information about this possible risk.
