Sarah, Please talk to me! I have been EXACTLY where you are not too long ago (2 months ago to be exact) and know that GEODONE was pure hell for me personally. My doc (at the time) tried many, many drugs on me during a hospital stay and I was a mess. I am slowly feeling better. I hope you will too. Please if you have any questions, I am here for you. Have you been diagnosed? What else, if anything are you feeling? When you started the Klonopin taper-what happened? How did you start to feel physically AND mentally?
Now that you are back on the Klonopin, what dosage are you at?I really hope to hear back from you, want to try to help, please hang in there.

> I know now that what I am going through is derealization, but I am feeling hopeless that it will never go away. I am convinced that the problem is a result of my doc trying new meds on me. I was fine until I started a Klonopin taper, was put on Geodon, taken off Geodon (twice), put on and taken off of Topomax and Zonegran, both of which I could not tolerate (all of this is a 30 day or less period). I am now back on the klonopin thinking this will make the derealization go away, but I have been completely off the Geodon, topomax and zonegran for 13 or 14 days and back on the klonopin for 5 days. Someone please tell this is temporary. I refuse to call my doctor for fear that we will go down another unsuccessful medication route which will make the disconnected feeling worse.
