I apologize for posting so much about this but I'm really trying to get a handle on what to expect and I am having a very rough time switching from risperdal to geodon- panic attacks, suicidal idaetions that were not there a week ago. I'm just wondering how long geodon takes to kick in. My pdoc says a week but I feel depressed and I did not feel depressed a week ago (before I started the geodon- I was on 60 mg of Celexa, 1.5 mg risperdal and 15 mg adderall and feeling fine). I'm wondering if the geodon is causing the anxiety or if it's the switch and my body is freaking out coming off the risperdal. I should also mention my life is extremely stressful right now- my mom was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer and it's been very hard for me. But I seemed to be handling it relatively well until I decidede to make the switch. I feel like my emotions are very raw, sad and I cry so easily right now. I just feel bad....
