In reply to I don't feel good!, posted by babs on February 1, 2003, at 21:25:56
> God- I feel awful! I'm switching from risperdal to geodon (I'm on 60 mg of Celexa, 15 mg of adderall and I'm switching from 1.5 mg of risperdal to 80 mg of geodon. I've been doing the cross taper thing for about a week and was just about off the risperdal (I took 1/8 og a 1mg pill today). At first I was really sleepy but now I am incredibly anxious. I think I had a panic attack tonight driving home- suicidal ideations and all. My pdoc thinks it's that the geodon hasn't kicked in yet and maybe I went off the risperdal too fast. I'm just scared- I feel anxious, depressed. Just need some support.
Hi:I am sorry you feel so horrible. I would highly suggest asking (right away) for a benzodiazepine (like Valium, Xanax, etc) from your doctor. You might also want try getting an antihistamine like benadryl from your pharmacy. ( You don't need a prescription.) Also, you may just want to talk to your doctor asap.
From what I understand, this may subside with time. Get help, any way you can though.
I hope this helps..
Best wishes,
Jay
