> sever anxiety and insomnia? I taking it and i'm thinking of talking to my doc about coming off of it. I take it all at night. i take it as a mood stabilizer. all i feel now is anxiety and tiredness. oh, and stupidness too. i'm so tired i can't think straight. i take xanax xr but it's not touching the anxiety much unless i take 2doses. after that i'm really a zombie all day. i meds.
I had a terrible experience with Geodon. I began to get anxiety after the first few weeks and it just kept getting worse. It was the worst thing that I have ever experienced because the anxiety was so bad. I had to take 3mg of klonipin to even touch the anxiety. I also went on anafranil () to help with the anxiety and to aleviate the growing depression due to the anxiety and the klonipin. I had bad withdrawals from the Geodon. I really feel for you. Hang in there. You should be able to taper off the anti-anxiety meds after a few months. You might want to consider anafranil because it will help with the anxiety and help you to be able to taper of the benzodiazapines.Good Luck,
Terry
