My wife was recently hospitalized for Mania - she was obviously manic and needed help. They started her on a fairly high dose of Geodon. After about 2 weeks, she started hearing voices and became very psychotic. The psychosis (feeling of being possesed, talking to herself, some parinoia) has persisted for the last 7 months. We will be starting to try and wean her off but I am not sure what to expect (will it get worse, will it get better??)
My question is - can these drugs cause psychosis?? She was never hearing voices or talking to herself until she started the antipsychotics. Help....
