Vetiver + Fluphenazine
Fluphenazine brand names: Prolixin, Permitil, Fluphenazine.
We found no known interaction between Vetiver and Fluphenazine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Vetiver and Fluphenazine
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Fluphenazine and Vetiver in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Vetiver at all — not against Fluphenazine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Fluphenazine page
“Take real care with supplements while on fluphenazine (Prolixin), an antipsychotic used mainly for schizophrenia. Five of the 148 ingredients on file rate major: herbs like henbane that stack anticholinergic side effects (dry mouth, blurred vision, confusion) onto a drug already prone to them, two rauwolfia plants that can intensify it…”

About Vetiver
What is Vetiver?
- Relaxation and stress relief (aromatherapy)
- Sleep support
- Skin care and soothing irritated skin
- Insect repellent
- Traditional cooling tonic
Vetiver is a fragrant grass whose roots produce an essential oil widely used in perfumes and aromatherapy for relaxation. Human evidence for any health benefit is very limited, so it is best thought of as a pleasant scent rather than a proven remedy. The oil should be diluted before skin use and is not meant to be swallowed.
Chrysopogon zizanioides · Poaceae · Roots and the essential oil distilled from them · Essential oil, aromatherapy blends, soaps and skin-care products, dried roots, perfume ingredient
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Vetiver is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Vetiver record says about it on its own.
Vetiver: dosing
There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for vetiver. It is most often used as an aromatherapy oil (a few drops in a diffuser) or applied to the skin after being diluted in a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba.Follow the directions on the specific product you buy, since concentration and quality vary between brands.
