Best advice for PF symptom management

Hi I have been on perifidone since the beginning I take three pills during breakfast

then again between 3pm to 4pm and then just before I go to bed. This appears to be working the only side affect I have is I have to be careful in the sun or strong daylight

I put sunscreen on and that appears to work if I miss I do not take more or try to catch up but that does not happen often only when traveling ie flying and get out of my routine.

My new pills that have just been prescribed the dosage has been put into one pill not started them yet. Hope all goes well with you and this has been helpful Allan
