geodon dosage for children

but i keep getting a notice that all the questions that can be asked for the day have been used, that no more questions addressed to this doctor can be asked for that particular day. what do i do? i need to ask him about medication-related chills or sensations of cold that i want to cease.

My daughter has been taking Geodone for approximately 2.5 months. She says her dosage is 180mg daily at dinner time. she has begun loosing her hair and has decided to take herself off the medication immediately. Can anyone help me - I am very fearful of her doing this without a weaning process.

I was in a psych unit for 12 days for no reason. I was only taking this high dosage for only twelve days until I started detoxing myself before I saw the therapist who told me I did not fit the symptoms of Psychosis. My question to you is since this medication has only been in my system for only 12 days will my insomnia go away? The heart palpitations have already minimized and the Hallucinations are gone but I still get body movements and am going on my second day of no sleep.

these are the medications that i take now.....150 milligrams of trazadone at bedtime, 120 milligrams of geodon at bedtime, 1milligram 3 times a day of lorazapam and 150 milligrams of wellbutrin 2 times a day.

My doctor tried me on Effexor, only 10mg and it made me shake so bad...this works for you and such a high dosage? I hate taking medication all together, right now the meds that I'm on aren't for me and I'm going to be taking something that people take for seizures, they think this may help me because of my allergic reactions. How are you doing?

However it generally is able to start to work more quickly than some other antipsychotics such as Zyprexa and Seroquel which take a long time to build up to a proper blood level (all this I was directly informed and remember from taking it). For some people Geodon can be sedating. However for others it can be activating. Both side effects can improve with time.

I have only read that Geodon is great for schizophrenia, and those other symptoms. Will it work for me and bring me out of this blue funk Ive been in for months? Im really concerned. Any input is great! thanks!

My main issue was the binge eating at night when i was on geodon and seroquel. Ive been on geodon for 10 years and eventually was On such a low dose 40 mg that I just quit cold turkey. I did up my seroquel to 400 mg to eliminate the withdrawls. (im quite the pharmacist) I have actually been loosing weight rapidly. So glad I found the right cocktail! i'm 29 its about damn time!!

bless you honest i mean how good are you to speak about it ,i cant help you really with the meds,just wanted you too know that i think you are amazing to still be able to talk to us after all that and let you know we are here to try and help.

s right about all of that. On geodon some days my vision was blurrier than other days but I also have astigmatism so my vision is randomly blurry anyway. After coming off geodon and switching to another med, my double vision came back and hasn't remitted yet but now I have glasses so I'm hoping it's just caused from eye strain from having double vision and far sightedness and not using glasses all these years.

One time I took my Geodon when I was taking that and its sedation kicked in too late for some reason and I fell asleep for six hours at work. Of course you can't do that at a normal job and I wasn't able to do that constantly even at that job but uh I don't know where I was going with this actually. Huh. I guess the moral of the story is you need to compensate and I guess do what you're doing that works best.

Just last night I began reducing my dosage of Geodon with the goal of getting off of it altogether. My doctor suggested switching to the new med Saphris but I researched it and found that it has the same type of side effects and negative long term effects as Geodon. I know that most anti-psychotics, which I only take for Bipolar II are alike. Don't want to take any but want help with my ultra-rapid mood cycling.

i was on zero mg geodon/4 mg perphenazine for just one day and started getting chills. and when i took the 20 mg geodon back again with the 4 mg perphenzine i still had chills. now i am taking geodon 20 mg and will start taking zero mg perphenazine. since i already tried reducing the geodon and staying with the perphenazine and experienced chills, me and my psychiatrist decided i should stay with the geodon and stop taking the perphenazine.

Is Geodon at a small dosage (20mg) safe for an individual with no history of health problems? My doctor put me on this and I think it is really helping, but after reading all of the scary side effects I am reluctant to continue. Thank you.

Well I can say for myself that I'd be concerned taking more than one anti-psychotic at a time. That's how I developed severe tardive dyskinesia to begin with which the rate of developing it as my psychopharmocologist stated "with typicals 5% per person per year and atypical antipsychotics 2.5% per person per year". Every antipsychotic you are one are atypical antipsychotics but I would see no reason you should be on more than one.

I've been on Geodon for 18 months and Remeron for 6 months. They stabalized my anxiety, but have bad motivation and gave me a flat personality. I successfully weaned off Remeron without any problems. I started to taper Geodon from 60mg to 40mg and got really bad anxiety. Is this my anxiety returning or is this withdrawal? I've had the anxiety for about 5 days now.

She’s been on psychotropic medications for over 20 years now (starting with Stelazine, has also taken several other psychotropic medications, and finally has been on Geodon for the past 5 years). This year she developed tardive dyskinesia of the jaw/mouth and also respiratory dyskinesia. Her neurologist wants her to get off the Geodon and onto Clozaril. Her psychiatrist has been slowly weaning her off the Geodon and slowly increasing the Clozaril.

Well, children aren't born bad, so theres obviously something causing these outbursts and cry's for attention. I think you should talk to her, corner her when she acts like this and be as calm as possible, because she will only respond negatively to any yelling or negative tones. Ask her, why does she act like this? Why is she so volatile? And ask her about the voices. Start sitting her down, and talking to her.

my psychiatrist allowed me to reduce dosage from 20 mg geodon (ziprasidone) and 4 mg perphenazine to zero milligrams geodon and 4 mg perphenazine. i took zero mg geodon and 4 mg perphenazine for just one day and have terrible chills up my back.

I am currently taking Zoloft 50mg for my OCD since October. I really haven't noticed that much improvement with my hiv fears. I have an appointment with a psychologist tomorrow to discuss my Meds. I was on 20mg of Prozac in the past and it worked well , but I also gained a lot of weight on it. I don't know if I need to up my dose or change my medication. Looking to see what have worked for others. Thank you.

This was a listed side effect however but I think it also happens for some other antipsychotics. Sometimes on Geodon I also was rather quiet (even for already not talking a lot) and subdued but this went away after stopping it. Also a psychiatrist told me someone if someone starts hallucinating only after taking an antipsychotic it means they didn't need it in the first place or are at too high of a dose.

The dosage suggestions given to you are correct. the side effects are;The most common side effects for patients taking GEODON for bipolar mania include sleepiness, abnormal muscle movements (such as tremors, shuffling, and uncontrolled movement), dizziness, and restlessness. If there is any heart rhythym problem, this could be a dangerous drug for your son.

thank you for the info on Lamictal, but does anyone take Geodon? I take 40mg Geodon and Lamictal. I do feel so much better,but i was wondering more about the Geodon side effects. I feel alittle more anixous im wondering if it is the Geodon.

Yea I have bipolar 1 too nd I could get highs nd lows really quickly too but I'm on wellbutrin nd geodon I use to take lamictil too but I was gaining a lot of weight nd then I got moved to another psychiatrist nd she told me lamictil was really bad for you cuz it could cause diebities so she took me off it nd put me on geodon nd I acossionally take serquol if I can't sleep at nite!! So idk maybe u should try speaking wit ur psychiatrist bout switching ur meds for the best of u!

So I'm taking 40mg of Geodon for bipolar, though no psychotic symptoms. Now I know bipolar alone should deter me from taking mushrooms, and honestly I'm sure it will. And I know mixing recreational drugs with psychatric meds is a bad idea. Nevertheess, I have a question concerning the interaction between Geodon and psilocybin. From what I've read, psilocybin is an agonist to the 5HT2 serotonin receptor, which I assume means that it increases serotonin.
