geodon

Avatar f tn m bruising really easily. Does anyone think this could be a long term side effect of Geodon? Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar m tn 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.
735919 tn?1236444549 I take 80mg of Geodon. I have been for a long time. I really respond to it. I get tired from Geodon. So I take it at night. Other than that, I have no side effects. Same with Lamictal. I take that also. Anti-psychotics tend to be on the more sedative side. Geodon can cause mania in some people so just watch out for that. But like I said, it is usually more sedative.
Avatar f tn I accidentally let my geodon run out but with two years of worse case scenario and possible lifetime side effects I ran with it I'm am actually feeling decent that I might could work but also have been fighting long enough to get retro lifetime dissibility and am in position to relax and repair my mind naturally till I am stable to work without meds my boss didn't understand the magnitude of this success and it's importantance to me I told him how I really felt about him making me fe
Avatar m tn You make a huge leap of faith when you connect the geodon with the hallucinogenic affects of psilocybin. The geodon will not cancel out the hallucinogenic affects of psilocybin.
Avatar n tn I have been on a combination of Wellbutrin (300 mg XL 1x/day), Cymbalta (30 mg 1x/day) and Geodon (20mg 1x/day). I also take 1500 mg Tyrosine 2x/day that has worked wonders. I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately that stays with me all day, and a little depression and irritability. I have been taking .5 mg Ativan as needed and I seem to need it almost every day.
Avatar m tn Why would I have dry skin on my bottom eye lids that cleared up entirely while I was on the highest dose of Geodon but then it came back after I was taken off of that? That makes no sense to me.
Avatar m tn m interested in hearing from anybody who has had similar symptoms, or a similar course of action before getting a diagnosis. I have never really heard of tinnitis or vertigo being symptoms of MS, and those are the main reasons I even started pursuing medical help to begin with. The doctors have ruled out some explanations (like the acoustic neuroma), but there are still other possibilities on the table (Meniere's disease, or even high blood pressure for example).
Avatar n tn It kind of sounds like a form of Action tremors, but I have to agree with mkh9.
Avatar m tn The withdrawal effects should long be over and you might consider an alternate explanation for your symptoms, and a corresponding course of action. The medications does not cure the underlying anxiety, it only contains it. If these are symptoms of anxiet and ocd, then you might try a good course of psychotherapy and get to the source of your anxiety rather than look for a new form of suppressant..
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Does anyone here share an extreme paranoid fear of the effects of mind altering medications? What are ways of overcoming this fear? I've been extremely paranoid of taking most medication my whole life and even as a baby it was difficult to administer medication to me for some reason.
Avatar f tn Now that I have stopped taking Geodon, I would like to know if anyone out there has been through the same experience with weight gain AND if weight loss is a side effect of coming off of Geodon? If not, is it easier to lose weight once you are off of the medication? I have my mind back and now I want my body back! Hope to hear some good news!
Avatar n tn I was put on geodon after risperdal too. The risperdal was causing weight gain that I was not comfortable with. The geodon has worked fine although I am now weaning off it too. At first I was taking 160mg a day. Now I'm down to 60mg a day. I'm starting to go down a little lately but I don't know if it's from the decreased dose of geodon or not. I'm weaning off of all my meds right now.
Avatar f tn ve been feeling suicidal and a bit depressed. Has anyone else had the same experience on geodon? Is it the geodon or Just depression emerging? I really appreciate the help.
Avatar f tn The ONLY time I feel stable is about 45 minutes to an hour after I take the Lamictal at night. When I get up in the morning, I am confused, tired (exhausted), paranoid, racing thoughts, severe anxiety, naseous (I have lost over 50 pounds in six months (a lot because I can't eat during the day). The loss of appetite is about the same time that I took Geodon. I'm now off of Geodon. The symptoms haven't improved. I really haven't felt well for about a year.
Avatar f tn Anyone ever taken geodon with serequel?( rapid weight gain Being wean off geodon from 80 twice a day now 40 twice a day. If I stop taking geodon will I be able to lose weight? Do serequel cause weight gain? (200 at bed time) It sure helps me sleep.Dr will replace geodon with Lamictal and tompamax. Thanks for any feed back.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I've recently switched from olanzipine to geodon and for a month now I've been feeling very depressed and a bit suicidal. Just wondering is it because of coming of the olanzipine. How long do withdrawal symptoms last? Has anyone else had the same problem coming off olanzipine?
Avatar f tn I took Geodon but not with Triliptal also. I was allergic to Geodon, but that was my body.
Avatar n tn I got put on geodon almost 2 weeks ago, I am not sure if it is working for me me but I have actually lost weight since taking it. I was on remeron and that made me gain weight, then he just did change my meds and diagnosed me borderline bipolar. I hope that helps you, I would try it for atleast a month good luck!
497950 tn?1255863927 I am on Geodon. 120mg a day. The only side effect I have is it makes a little sleapy. A little coffee takes it away though. I have not gained any weight. It works for me along with other medications. Hope this helps.

2010625 tn?1329372056 I am on the lowest dose of geodon, but I am worried about taking more because it gave me body aches, and I had to start taking cogentin again, and if I take more of the geodon it might increase my chances of getting more yucky side effects. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, lol.
142722 tn?1281533616 Geodon is an antipsychotic that is also used as a mood stabilizer. I'm not aware of its use for anxiety but you'd have to ask your psychiatrist more about that. It does seem that things need to be adjusted and/or changed but you'd have to speak to your psychiatrist to find out if the anxiety is just something untreated or a minor side effect of the Geodon and if it will go away in time. Think about when the anxiety started to get worse and speak to them about all this.
Avatar f tn Geodon can be activating and make a person irritable at times. All antipsychotics have the potential of weight gain the least 3 being Abilify, Saphris and Fanapt. If she has bipolar there are also standard mood stabilizers as well of course: http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/moodstabilizers.
Avatar f tn What I have been reading Geodon is very hard to stop. It has made me gain lots of weight. And urinating too much. Kinda of scared of it now. And my short term memory is sad.
