In reply to Freaked out on Geodon; went back to Zyprexa-Long, posted by kotsunega on November 18, 2004, at 19:48:03
Well, I have Major depression with psychotic features. My dx is different but my experience with Geodon is similar.
After 2 weeks at a small dose I was very emotional. It took nothing to wind up in a crying fit. I couldn't be alone. I would call people I knew like crazy, if they couldn't hang out, that's when the paranoia kicked in. I felt like I was crawling out of my skin. Anxiety was so bad that I couldn't hold food down. The list goes on.
After the Geodon I started Zyprexa. It's been about four months since that fiasco and I'm still not 100% over it.
Just to let you know you are not alone. I hope this helps. Hang in there.
