- My Geodon withdrawal

[Guest guest]

I made my first reduction to the antipsychotic drug, Geodon 2 weeks

ago, and I am now starting to experience the withdrawal symptoms of

this drug that started this Friday. Ugh! It's not fun, I've been

feeling anxiety, dissociation, not able to think clearly, and

generally feeling weriod in a bad way. I started to panic, worrying

about whether I was really going to be able to handle these

withdrawals. Forgive me, but I even thought about taking an

additional Klonipin to help me cope with these emotions (I know

better, but I was just feeling so bad and the anxiety was creepy),

but I thought about the Aconitum Nappellus and gave it a try. I can

handle my Lexapro withdrawals alittle better then the Geodon w/d. I

can't stand the creepy way I feel, the anxiety and dissociative

feelings, cloudy thinking, it was just driving me nuts.

I simply can not cope, or so I thought. I don't know if it was

really appropriate, but I was experiencing the anxiety for quite a

while, and it was becoming very uncomfortable for me to tolerate

these feelings and I just couldn't take it anymore and then I

decided to use the Aconitum Nappellus for my anxiety (I worried

about taking it because it wasn't a panic attack, but who knows it

might have developed into one if I waited), but I was amazed after

around 30 minutes that I started feeling better and had no anxiety

and could think clearly again. I used the Aconitum Nappellus one

other time this Saturday, like I did on Friday, for the same w/d

symptoms, and it calmed me down and I felt energetic and could think

clearly again.

, I hope it was okay to use the Aconitum Nappellus for my

Geodon w/d. My Geodon w/d occurs at the same time each day and just

before taking my evening dose of Geodon, so I just needed it to get

me through the afternoon, which is the most difficult time of the

day for me, because my Lexapro, w/d gets worse at the same time as

the Geodon, as well. What a drag. I'm not as freaked out now,

knowing that if things get really bad then I can take the Acontinum

Nappellus to get me through. I hope that I will eventually become

strong enough to cope with the Geodon w/d without the Acontinum

Nappellus, but right now I freak when I start feeling the Geodon w/d

anxiety and totally creepy, dissociative state of being. If there

is something else more apppropriate for the Geodon w/d that can help

me cope with the symptoms let me know.

To keep you up to date, the diarrhea is much better now and I am

able to take all my supplements and vitamins at the required dosages

without discomfort. Yeah!
