Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 okay i was on geodon for about two months..i started with 20 mg then the next day bumped up to 40 mg then to 60 mg and stayed with 60 mg for a while. It was depressing me so my psychiatrist told me to take 120 milligrams..that made me even more depressed and caused anxiety so he put me on 180 mg of geodon with 150 mg of wellbutrin in the mornings. That made my anxiety and depression go away but it was a very fake feeling of happiness which i couldn't cope with. I then went back to 120 mg of geodon by itself for two days, then went to 80 milligrams of geodon two days later then went to 60 milligrams of geodon another two days later and i came off. I was given all of this medicine because i was diagnosed with bi polar disorder. I personally thought i had bi polar disorder because i had anger problems. When i actually researched on what it was i came to a conclusion that i wasn't bi polar and i was getting medically treated for nothing. I came to this conclusion because bi polar patients have severe mood changes and i never had those. I just used to take a lot of shit from people and when they kept giving me mroe and mroe shit i kinda exploded and got mad. So anyways i stopped taking this geodon and it has been about 4 days. I can't seem to get any sleep at all. I feel like a zombie at times. I took a over the counter sleeping aid on the second night i came off and it made me sleep for about 4 hours. I have looked at the eating to recover file and i am starting to eat a lot of food and a lot of veggies and am following the guidelines. I know you guys dont know how long this is gonna exactly last but i would appreciate it if you could give me and estimate to when my sleeping schedule will go back to normal. Also let me know how i should cope with these sleepless nights. I am 18 years old and i work and go to college so i don't want this to get in the way of my college and its been really hard. Ever since i have been off the geodon i have not expierenced any other problems except for sleep. I see my doctor in two days.. I don't know what i should tell him. I really dont like him at this point in life because he gave me geodon and when i told him it wasn't working for me he just gave me more which made my body very addicted to it and now i am having a hard time getting through life. So if there is anything you guys can help me with please do. Oh and i was wondering who exactly you guys are and how you seem to know about this withdrawal and recovery stuff so much?
