> Half-life is the time that it takes for a drug to get to half it's concentration in the body after a dose.
>
> Drugs with shorter half-lives are sometimes difficult to discontinue because they leave the body so abruptly that the body feels its absence.
> Drugs with longer half lives slowly leave the body slow enough that the body has more time to adjust itself.
>That was what I was wondering. I stopped taking geodon 2 days ago and it is excruciating what i am going through. I know that it has a half life of 7 hours, but the pain is so unbearable.
