I THINK it's the Geodon. I pretty sure it is. After about 1 hour after I take it - I feel very drunk - dizzy - and sleepy but have SEVERE SEVERE RESTLESSNESS in my legs. It's UNBEARABLE. I've had to take at least 4mg of Klonopin to help - and it only helps somewhat since I have to take Geodon with food.
I also found taking 10mg of Adderall helps the restlessness enough to allow me to sleep.
I'm out like a light for 8 hours - I wake up - and the restlessness starts again unless I take Adderall and Klonopin. I also start crying once I wake up for some reason.
I CANNOT bear the restlessness. Last night I was pounding on my legs with my fists to make the restlessness go away!
Someone recommended taking 10mg 2x daily to start with? Is there anyway to dump out part of the capsule??! It's the weekend now and I have no contact with my doctor.
I seem to be eating "normally" now - MUCH better compared to when I was on evil Remeron. I think I've lost 4 pounds in the last 4 days even.
But the restlessness I cannot take. UNless my doctor wants to prescribe me tons of Klonopin I am going to ask for Abilify. I know he'll say to try and stick it out with the Geodon. He told me when he Rx'd it that "If you can stick with it for 2 weeks you're home free because the side effects dissipate."
I hate that tho - because these doctors don't know how horrific it is to "stick it out" when you have severe restlessnessadn feel like cutting off your legs.
Hanging in there......Jerry
